Problem Instaling Solaris
hi
I was trying to install Solaris on my PC.
when i selected Auto Ejaection of cd & auto reboot.....then it displayed that u will need to manually eject current disk, & Select an appropriate boot media to avoid installation process again..
then after selecting appropriate options, the instalation started.... in which i asked it to create partitions as /, /usr,/var,/home, swap (giving in all15Gb space for Solaris & selected complete installation... when about 20% of installation was completed.... console opened.... Instalation from CD 1 complete....after making some more logs.... line is displayed showing Installation is complete for Solaris & the system reboots & grub opens. Solaris is not asking for 2,3 & 4CD. when i select Solaris from Grub....the system boots......when i use ls at / it displays partions that i have not mentioned..... no home partition has been made....
Moreover ordinary commands like ls,grep etc are working but system commands are not working at all.....
i have tried installing using manual reboot * manual cd ejection but same problem occurs.
Please help..........
Thanks in advance....

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
