In the shell I went into the following directory

Code:
#cd /sbin

metadevadm                 zonename
metainit                   zpool
metarecover

I tried running the following
install-solaris & suninstall & install-setup

install-solaris & suninstall both took me through all of the Solaris install options, but at the end when I hit install I get the following message

Code:
ERROR: the disk you inserted is not a Solaris OS cd/DVD

:-(

DESCRIPTION

       install-solaris(1M) is now the preferred command for starting and restarting the Solaris Installation program. It should be used instead of
