Sun blade 1500 bad magic number

Hi guys, me again 
.
So, got a good news. Solaris 10 has been installed properly reaching 100% without any warnings. After reboot, I was really surprised to see I had network connexion. Opened a browser and was immediately able to surf the internet.
I know I'm picky, but I don't get it. At the beginning with that computer, when network cable was plugged I had warnings in OpenBios saying it couldn't get an IP. And after Solaris installation, I don't have these warnings anymore during the OpenBios process.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter as the SunBlade 1500 is now working properly with Solaris. I can definitely thank you for that.
I am very surprised by this forum. Its community is amazing. Only on this post, we reached 5 pages in 2 days (filled with only interesting/helping posts) , this is crazy.
I really like this forum. I think I'll try to come here more often. I'm usually helping as well on many french forums (Network admin, Debian, Arch, Ubuntu), I'll try my best to help here as well if my English doesn't sucks too much and if I can (because I have to admit after reading many posts that you're all damned good with very good knowledge, better than mine), but I can at least read posts and learn from them.
OK, good to know. I was expecting to have troubles later but seems to work fine.
To finish, thanks again to all of you for your very quick help.
ps : is there a way to mark a post as solved? I'm now editing firstpost
to add it in the title.
/edit
Ok, can edit the title but doesn't show in thread's list
