Question Solaris - Newbie need help

Hi everybody.

Sorry my English, first. Im a Solaris newbie. I want to learn Solaris. I've a Solaris 9 CD. I try to setup into my PC (Dell, PIV 2.8GHz, RAM 256Mb, HDD 40Gb), but it can't boot from the CD? What will I do to make it bootable and start the installation. Please tell me the format of all partitions and its size in the most suitable.

In case that I want to install on a virtual machine, I use VMware 4.5.1-7568, and I created a virtual machine with 128 RAM, 10Gb HDD. How can make it boot and partition the 10Gb of virtual machine.

Thank for your help.

(You can mail to . Thank you!)
