installing solaris 8 on no media Ultra 5 box
I'm a newbie to UNIX
I just received an ultra 5 box that does not come with media. Before I received this box, I was told that it does not come with media.
(I'm assuming that because it does not come with media, that is why when I turn on the system, nothing comes on the monitor.
QUESTION 1: I'm I correct with this assumption? If not what should I do? The monitor is not a sun monitor. Its a monitor that I use for my NT box. The monitor works well with my NT box)
QUESTION2: I have the solaris 8 CD's Pack that I got from the sum websit Now, I would like install solaris 8 on this box. What's the process involved?
Thanks,
Ted

Does anyone still have this hanging around?

LEARN ABOUT ULTRIX
removable-media
removable-media(9P) Kernel Properties for Drivers removable-media(9P)
NAME
removable-media - removable media device property
DESCRIPTION
A device that supports removable media--such as CDROM, JAZZ, and ZIP drives--and that supports power management and expects automatic
mounting of the device via the volume manager should export the boolean (zero length) property removable-media. This property enables the
system to make the power state of the device dependent on the power state of the frame buffer and monitor. See the power.conf(4) discussion
of the device-dependency-property entry for more information.
Devices that behave like removable devices (such as PC ATA cards, where the controller and media both are removed at the same time) should
also export this property.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: removable-media Entry
An example of a removable-media entry from the .conf file of a driver is shown below.
# This entry keeps removable media from being powered down unless
# the console framebuffer and monitor are powered down
#
removable-media=1;
Example 2: Implementation in attach()
Below is an example of how the entry above would be implemented in the attach(9E) function of the driver.
xxattach(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_attach_cmd_t cmd)
{
...
if (ddi_prop_create(DDI_DEV_T_NONE, dip, DDI_PROP_CANSLEEP,
"removable-media", NULL, 0)) != DDI_PROP_SUCCESS)
goto failed;
...
}
