UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have Pentium 4 CPU with 3 GHZ
500MB of RAM w/ 120 GB of HDD space. I am trying to install Sun Solaris 9 (x86).

I saw somewhere to on-line to get Device Configuration Assistant, but I am not sure where or if you guys have any documentations on this issue.

This is the error I am getting:

Unable to mount a solaris root file system from device:

Disk: Target 0:ST3120026A on Bus Mastering IDE controller PCI Bus 0, at DEV 31, Func

Error Message from Mount

/pci@,0/pci-ide@1f,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a: can't open - I/0 error

Press enter to continue... After pressing enter it reboots

not for v9 but should be a good place to start.

I had errors close to this installing Sol v9, but I was dinking around with trying to customize my mounts/volumes. I did an ide version of low level format, and reinstalled with defaults.
