Hi again Smilie

On the front of the player, it says DVD. So, I've burned a DVD+ with the iso available here

Also, I can't find any CD (700Mo) iso available to download for a sparc arch. Am I missing something?

Thanks again a lot for your help Smilie

Hi again, sorry to bother you one more time.

So, I'm back to give more details about what is going on.

I'm trying to find a CD (700 Mo) version of Solaris, but I can't find one. I need version 8,9 or 10 of a Solaris Sparc version.

The reason I need one of these specific versions is because I want to install Cadds 5 Release 14 which is only compatible with these versions according the the vendor's website (more details : Click "by Product" and select "Cadds 5i Release 14" for PDF file)

So, I've tried lots of websites, but can't find any of these versions for Sparc architecture and using a CD and not a DVD.

Also, I have another problem with my Sun Blade 1500.

If the network cable is plugged, during the open bios process, I have this message going again and again.
Code:
Requesting Internet Address for 0:3:ba:7b:39:16

Of course, that message doesn't come up when the cable is unplugged. This is how I was able to run commands as described on my previous posts.

But, what bothers me is that it doesn't look like a mac address. Usually, a mac address is 12 digits, but this one only contains 10. Of course, I've tried to give that mac address an IP in my router configuration but it doesn't accept that mac address saying is probably not a valid one.

Also, when I plug another computer on that switch using the same cable etc... it works perfectly and I have internet access.

Does that mean there is something wrong with that Ethernet adapter?
But why it detects when it's plugged?

Any idea will help me a lot.

Thanks again to all of you for all your help Smilie.

BOOTCD2DISK(1)							   bootcd utils 						    BOOTCD2DISK(1)

NAME
bootcd2disk - copy a system running from bootcd to a disk SYNOPSIS
bootcd2disk [-i] [-s] [-c <config directory>] [-url <url>] DESCRIPTION
With bootcd2disk a CD build with bootcdwrite can be copied to one or more Disk Partitions from the running cd-based system. Therefore bootcd could be used to make rescue disks. It is also possible to let bootcd2disk automatically find a disk, make partitions on it, copy the cd to the disk and make the disk bootable. bootcd2disk will be available as soon as your system is running from cd. OPTIONS
-i With this option the complete bootcd2disk runs in interactive mode and you can run each function manually. This option is useful for debugging. -v The option "-v" (verbose) adds messages on running. -s This option can be used to disable interactive questions and to try to ignore errors. -c <config directory> The configuration directory which normally is "/etc/bootcd" can be changed with this. -url <url> If bootcd2disk is slow on your system (because of a slow CD/DVD drive or the HP ILO virtual CD interface), you can use an image server to get the image from. bootcd2disk use the SWAP partition of your upcoming system as temporary space and copy the image from the con- figured image server to this partition and use it as image. The image server url is configured with this option. example install from imagesserver: bootcd2disk -url http://192.168.1.1/cdimage.iso Another way the increase the performance is the use of the mounted CD/DVD itself for the copy. The option "-url" is the same, the url starts with "file:///" example install from CD/DVD drive sdc0: bootcd2disk -url file:///dev/sdc0 The swap partition of the upcoming system must have enough space to get the whole image! Currently no other options can be specified on command line. All other configuration has to be done in the config files. FILES
