How can I start Solaris without Graphical Desktop login?

Hi All,

Any ideas on how to start Solaris 10 x86 without the Graphical Desktop login? I'm just interested in having the console login (text based) when starting Solaris.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

You can do the install from a console (serial port) or just disable X11 at boot. What version are you running?

Hi there,

you can use serial cable (DB9) for connect to serial port or you can use lom port in RSC card of your server to get in console text based. Smilie
