You can get solaris 10 for intel on the sun website.

And for my problem Smilie , I even tried with the solaris 2.5.1 version that i bought from the sun store.. IUt still gives me the same message.

is it possible that you made cd copies of netbsd images? try removing the cd that's in the cd drive and replace it with any linux cd just to check if you're still getting the same error ... if no, your "sun" cd needs to be redone ... if yes, something else is wrong --- possibly with the cd cdrive ...

I fixed my problem Smilie

I just used the command:

boot cdrom - install

it works now!!!
