Help! can't install Solaris 10
Hi everyone, i been trying to get my hands on a sun microsystem computer for a very long time, but for some reason i end up with microsucks, sorry, microsoft, well to the point.
Finally i bought a sunblade 100 with no OS, i download the Solaris 10 .iso files and burn them into cd-r, sytem = sunblade 100+sun 6 type unix+sony lcd monitor.
I turn on the system and install the Solaris cd-r 1 into the cdrom drive, i reboot the system and i get this message,
Bad Magic Number in Disk Label
Can't open disk label package
Boot device: net File and args:
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet, on and on
i google it to find an answer to the problem and this are the most common answer,
hit STOP-A and boot from CD
STOP-A
OK> boot cdrom
i try STOP -A and the system does not response.
i try burn the .iso files with different software burners, different speeds, and there was an answer that the cdrom drive from the system may not read cd-rs, so i changed the cdrom drive from a pc, i boot the system with the Solaris cd 1 and i now i get this messeage,
Boot device: net File and args:
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet, on and on
and after a few lines this comes out,
Network link setup failed
Please check cable and try again
can someone please help me resolve this problem?
am dying for trying Solaris
Thank you.
