Thanks !!
Hello there!!
Thank you so much for the iso, I have downloaded it and already installed, I have the VM running!
Also thanks for the instructions on installing the updates, as I said I have very basic unix knowledge, I couldnt have done it without your help.
I installed the vm using the 5.0.7 boot floppy and the 5.0.6 cd.
That tutorial said it had to be done using a virtual hd of 2gb and later on add a larger second hd.
Here is where I have a new problem. In the vm properties I add the second hd and has id (0:1) 0:0 is the first one.
I use mkdev hd as instructed but it ends with an error.
What commands should I use to add this disk? Can I just resize the one I have in the vm to 32 gb and end of story? I think i'll try that later.
I have used df command to check the size of the disk but I dont really understand the results... It talks about blocks... Are those bytes? Any other commands to check disks?
Again, I really appreciate your help with this project.
Cheers

NAME
installgrub - install GRUB in a disk partition or a floppy
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/installgrub [-fm] stage1 stage2 raw-device
The installgrub command is an -only program. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader.
installgrub installs GRUB stage 1 and stage 2 files on the boot area of a disk partition. If you specify the -m option, installgrub
installs the stage 1 file on the master boot sector of the disk.
The installgrub command accepts the following options:
-f
Suppresses interaction when overwriting the master boot sector.
-m
Installs GRUB stage1 on the master boot sector interactively.
The installgrub command accepts the following operands:
stage1
The name of the GRUB stage 1 file.
stage2
The name of the GRUB stage 2 file.
raw-device
The name of the device onto which GRUB code is to be installed. It must be a character device that is readable and writable. For disk
devices, specify the slice where the GRUB menu file is located. (For Solaris it is the root slice.) For a floppy disk, it is
/dev/rdiskette.
Example 1: Installing GRUB on a Hard Disk Slice
The following command installs GRUB on a system where the root slice is c0d0s0:
example# /sbin/installgrub /boot/grub/stage1
/boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0
Example 2: Installing GRUB on a Floppy
The following command installs GRUB on a formatted floppy:
example# mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt
# mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub
# cp /boot/grub/* /mnt/boot/grub
# umount /mnt
# cd /boot/grub
# /sbin/installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/rdiskette
/boot/grub
Directory where GRUB files reside.

Installing GRUB on the master boot sector (-m option) overrides any boot manager currently installed on the machine. The system will always
boot the GRUB in the Solaris partition regardless of which fdisk partition is active.
