Help! can't install Solaris 10
Hi everyone, i been trying to get my hands on a sun microsystem computer for a very long time, but for some reason i end up with microsucks, sorry, microsoft, well to the point.
Finally i bought a sunblade 100 with no OS, i download the Solaris 10 .iso files and burn them into cd-r, sytem = sunblade 100+sun 6 type unix+sony lcd monitor.
I turn on the system and install the Solaris cd-r 1 into the cdrom drive, i reboot the system and i get this message,
Bad Magic Number in Disk Label
Can't open disk label package
Boot device: net File and args:
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet, on and on
i google it to find an answer to the problem and this are the most common answer,
hit STOP-A and boot from CD
STOP-A
OK> boot cdrom
i try STOP -A and the system does not response.
i try burn the .iso files with different software burners, different speeds, and there was an answer that the cdrom drive from the system may not read cd-rs, so i changed the cdrom drive from a pc, i boot the system with the Solaris cd 1 and i now i get this messeage,
Boot device: net File and args:
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet, on and on
and after a few lines this comes out,
Network link setup failed
Please check cable and try again
can someone please help me resolve this problem?
am dying for trying Solaris
Thank you.

sdl_cdopen
SDL_CDOpen(3) SDL API Reference SDL_CDOpen(3)
NAME
SDL_CDOpen- Opens a CD-ROM drive for access.
SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL.h"
SDL_CD *SDL_CDOpen(int drive);
DESCRIPTION
Opens a CD-ROM drive for access. It returns a SDL_CD structure on success, or NULL if the drive was invalid or busy. This newly opened CD-
ROM becomes the default CD used when other CD functions are passed a NULL CD-ROM handle.
Drives are numbered starting with 0. Drive 0 is the system default CD-ROM.
EXAMPLES
SDL_CD *cdrom;
int cur_track;
int min, sec, frame;
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_CDROM);
atexit(SDL_Quit);
/* Check for CD drives */
if(!SDL_CDNumDrives()){
/* None found */
fprintf(stderr, "No CDROM devices available
");
exit(-1);
}
/* Open the default drive */
cdrom=SDL_CDOpen(0);
/* Did if open? Check if cdrom is NULL */
if(!cdrom){
fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't open drive: %s
", SDL_GetError());
exit(-1);
}
/* Print Volume info */
printf("Name: %s
", SDL_CDName(0));
printf("Tracks: %d
", cdrom->numtracks);
for(cur_track=0;cur_track < cdrom->numtracks; cur_track++){
FRAMES_TO_MSF(cdrom->track[cur_track].length, &min, &sec, &frame);
printf(" Track %d: Length %d:%d
", cur_track, min, sec);
}
SDL_CDClose(cdrom);
