Burning ISO of Solaris 9

Hello,

This is my first time setting up a Unix system, and I'm very excited to do so, but I'm run into some problems from the get go!

I downloaded Solaris 9 (I specifically need this version of Unix, as I'm gunning for a better position in my company), and got a bz2 compressed image. I intend to put this on either an old Win 98SE with 48MB of RAM, or if that's too slow than an XP box with 256MB.

I found a Win utility to decompress the BZIP file, and now have an ISO.

What now? I've tried burning it as a boot disk using Nero, but while the laptop does boot to it, I have no reaction.

Can anyone give me any advise how I can boot to this, and load the O/S?

Thanks

-skeet
