I'd suggest downloading Solaris 9 instead of 10. I don't think you can boot Sunfires with Solaris 10 5/08.

ok... i power off and power down and know i can enter in the system! =)
i search google how to stop that error...

but now i have another question...

i need to configure a interface to use telnet!!!

but i have just one:
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index

1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
#


and before the installation i had:


# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
eri0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 172.27.109.153 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.27.109.255
ether 0:3:ba:68:25:a3
lo0: flags=2000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 8252 index 1
inet6 ::1/128
eri0: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
ether 0:3:ba:68:25:a3
inet6 fe80::203:baff:fe68:25a3/10

Don't tell solaris to not use a network and then complain that telnet and sendmail aren't working. Telnet needs a network. So does sendmail. I suggest that you redo the installation and pick the right options this time. You will need to answer questions like: what ip address to use or should it just use dhcp, what is the default router, what is the netmask, what your dns servers are, what domain you're in, etc.

Or to just turn off sendmail, I think it's:

svcadm disable sendmail
