@neo............you might be right but I hope that you're not.
The OP said at the start...........
Quote:
Either I try to boot from USB bootable drive or from a bootable dvdrom, I am receiving a message ERROR: boot-read fail
So I assume that s/he was trying to boot anyway that would work. Trying to specify the full bus path is great but prone to error because one character wrong and it doesn't work. Yes, the OP also tried to boot from USB stick. Just giving the
boot cdrom command lets the hardware do the work of finding the correct bus path. That proved that the hardware was bootable and not faulty.
The OP then said:
Quote:
NOW I AM NOT ABLE TO BOOT FROM DVD FROM A HASH PROMPT
by which I assumed (perhaps incorrectly due to language) was "NOW I AM NOT ABLE TO INSTALL FROM DVD FROM A HASH PROMPT"
and this being caused by trying to login at the "Solaris console login:" prompt and not waiting for the Solaris install routine to start.
When asked to explain the OP said:
Quote:
I need to install Solaris on this disk. Its a new disk I installed on SPARC machine
which I assumed to mean trying to install Solaris to a newly installed hard disk on this T4-1, so I gave advice to wait for the install routine to start and to totally ignore the console login prompt.
Anyway, I guess we'll both know when the OP posts back, but that was my thinking. You saw it differently.
