Data Burning Solaris 9 Installation ISOs to bootable CDs

Hi everyone,

Im new to Solaris and am just about to install Solaris 9 on an old Sparc based machine with Solaris 8.

My friend gave me the ISOs for V9, and now, i have them sitting on my Vista, and i have to start writing bootable CDs of the same. But Im not quite sure how to go about doing the same.

The files that i have are Solaris_9_Sparc.iso and solaris_9_Sparc_2.iso, which seem to be part 1 and part 2 on the installation aspect of it. There is another iso, MULTI_ICD_SOL_SPARC_cs.iso, 128 KB , which has the following files on it.. ADD_INSTALL_CLIENT., BOOT., MODIFY_INSTALL_SERVER., COPYRIGHT., RM_INSTALL_CLIENT., _VOLUME.inf

Now i tried burning the CDs the conventional way(3, one for each ISO) using PowerISO, Disk Creator and MagicISO, and tried to give a 'boot cdrom' and it says something of the order of

'The CD loaded does not appear to be executable'

Is there something I'm missing here?

Alternatively I would be really grateful if someone points out to me exactly how to burn installation disks from ISOs. Sun basically dismisses it as 'straight forward' and, on the net, people don't seem to agree on what software to use and what exactly is the procedure.

I could really use some help!

Thank you,
AG
