Operating Systems Solaris Ultra 5 will not boot from DVD ROM :( Post 302436326 by greypilgrim on Saturday 10th of July 2010 08:30:37 PM
Old 07-10-2010
OK so I out in the older Solaris 8 installation 'cd' and the DVDROM (which also reads and writes cds) can read it just fine. I was able to go to the OBP and boot off via the cdrom. This is so bizzare.

Not sure why it cant read the DVD that I burn. My burn speed was 2x.

Will it make a difference if I burnt it on just DVD+R as opposed to DVD+RW?

Thanks for all your help.
