Use another machine

Hey,
Insert disk of this "problem" machine in another sparc machine. Do installation there and move this disck back into original machine. It seems that problem because of CD-Drive.

Hey,

looks like a defect disk. Try boot cdrom - install,
break the install process after input hostname and
network parameters.
Than you have a shell prompt and a mini solaris in
the ramdisk. Try format and look at the output,
perhaps your disk is not labeled or its really defect.
With format you can scan the disk with scsi commands,
but your data will be lost.

Good luck
