First, sorry for my English, this is not my first language but I try my best .
So, here we go.
A friend of mine gave me an old Sun Blade 1500 he wasn't using. He said it was working fine except for the missing hard drive.
I had in my IT personnal box an old IDE hard drive that I plugged in that Sun Blade.
Then, I downloaded Solaris 10 on oracle's website and burt it on a DVD.
When I boot the computer with the DVD in, it says :
Code:
Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
I searched on Google, but couldn't find anything relevant, so that's why I'm asking you.
Is it possible that my hard drive is not compatible with that Sun's computer? (am I suppose to buy a HDD from Sun (oracle) to fit that computer?
Why does it says "Can't read disk label" even on the DVD player which is the original one builtin with the computer when I write "boot cdrom"?
Please, let me know if you need more details about that.
Thanks a lot in advance .

Hi,
when installing a piece of third part software I get the error "Bad magic number" at one point when it tries to use libraries from the bea tuxedo server. Am I correct that this means that the software is expecting 32bit while I'm on 64bit? Is there a way around it or can it only be solved... (5 Replies)

installboot
installboot(1M)installboot(1M)NAME
installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition
SYNOPSIS
installboot bootblk raw-disk-device
The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition.
The ufs boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be
found using the -i option of uname(1).
The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It is not supported on the architecture. users should use installgrub(1M) instead.
bootblk The name of the bootblock code.
raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is read-
able and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive.
Example 1: Installing UFS Boot Block
To install a ufs boot block on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use:
example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
/usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs
directory where ufs boot objects reside.
/platform/platform-name/ufsboot
second level program to boot from a disk or CD
