Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 9 install cd boot fail Post 89177 by RTM on Friday 11th of November 2005 08:18:51 AM

If it has Solaris 10 on it already, then boot it and check that the cdrom works while booted in Solaris 10.

If you don't have the access into Solaris 10, then at the ok prompt, you can use devalias to insure that the cdrom is known. Post your output from devalias.

I wasn't sure if you meant you tried the fsck command while at the ok prompt or while booted into Solaris 10. Please clear up this confusion on my part. Also, what were you trying to fsck?
