Can't boot from cdrom at ok prompt
I want to install Solaris 9 on SUN ULTRA 10. The cdrom is attached to an ide controller. The server is currently running Solaris 2.6
I insert Solaris cd 1 of 2 and at the ok prompt I type boot cdrom i get the error below
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom@2,0:f file and args:
evaluating : boot cdrom
Cant open boot device
In Solaris 2.6 when I insert the Solaris 9 cd 1 of 2 it autoruns meaning the cdrom is functioning properly.
Kindly assist ?
Regards
Msoro
