problem installing solaris 10
I tried to install solaris 10 on a Netra T2000 server.
From prompt ok, I entered "boot cdrom - install" command.
Then, things seems to work normally. Except that nothing happend after displaying "Configuring the /devices".
It seems that, installation never arrived to configure /devices.

Any help?

use only "boot cdrom" and you need solaris 10 6/06 as a minimum supported version. but better use 8/07 (the current release).

The best way is to go with the command ' boot cdrom'

Long way:

step 1:
set boot-device cdrom disk

Step 2:
(insert disk 1 of solaris whatever version)

Step 3:
boot
