Boot Solaris 9 on a SunFire V100

Hi All
During the booting process of solaris 9, after all rights reserved displays, is the "Use is subject to license terms." Solaris 9 hangs. I reboot many times, it doesn't go anywhere. Can someone please help me with this unusual problem. I really don't know why this is happening. Thanks.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards to all,
jupiter55

Did you try to boot from alternative media to proove that there is indeed nothing wrong with the CD-ROM? You might also want to run probe-ide from OpenBoot PROM to make sure there are no errors on the bus and that the CD-ROM drive is functioning correctly:
ok% reset-all
ok% probe-ide

  • Problem booting Solaris 10 on ProLiant server after installation.

    Hi all!
    I have a brand new HP ProLiant DL360 G5 server. It contains 6 internal
    hard drives. RAID 5 is configured on these drives using built-in HP
    Smart Array P400i controller. I've just installed Solaris 10 8/07 on this
    server. Solaris requires a driver for P400i controller. I'm using Driver
    Update CD created from HP provided ISO image. Solaris 10 is
    officially supported OS for DL360 G5 server.
    Installation proceeds as expected:
    1) At the begining of Solaris installation, Driver Update is used to
    load HP driver for raid controller. During installation, disk is
    recognized as c1d0t0 (the only disk in system); one partition is
    created on this disk.
    2) Disk is devided to 6 slices:
    c1d0t0s0 - swap, 4GB
    c1d0t0s1 - /, cca 32GB
    c1d0t0s[3,4,5,6] - /zones/[a,b,c,d] - each cca 160GB
    3) At the end of installation, CPQary3 driver is installed to target
    system without any errors reported. No errors are reported during
    installation at all.
    After reboot, GRUB is started. It shows boot menu containing two
    options:
    - Solaris 'normal' boot
    - failsafe boot
    PROBLEM: Selecting 'normal' boot leads to immediate system restart.
    According to documentation, this case occurs when PCQary3
    driver is not installed.
    I'm able to boot using 'failsafe' option in grub. After entering single
    user, I load PCQary3 driver to runtime using 'install-du' command.
    I'm also able to find instaled Solaris using 'install-recovery' and mount
    its root volume to /a directory. Necessary driver IS installed inside
    /a/kernel/drv/ directory. Options 'bootpath' in /a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc
    file is set up correctly pointing to device associated with /dev/dsk/c1d0t0s1
    device. Also GRUB is able to recognize UFS filesystem for boot partition.
    I've already tried (without success):
    1) Use RAID 1+0 instead of RAID5
    2) Create only 3,5GB partition instead of 700GB large one.
    3) Place / on c1d0t0s0 instead of c1d0t0s1.
    4) Re-create boot archive using 'bootadm update-archive -R /a'
    So, everything seems to be installed correctly, but system cannot boot.
    Do you have any ideas how to fix this problem?
    Jozef

    Sounds like an issue I just had with a brand new X4150, installation and failsafe worked fine, but normal booting led to immediate reboot of the server. This was due to an incompatibility of solaris and intel's newest generation xeon chips.
    You can still boot 'normal' solaris in 32-bit mode:
    hit 'e' at the grub menu, 'e' again to edit the 'normal' boot entry and add 'kernel/unix' after multiboot. This should boot up solaris in 32-bit mode. From there, download and install the latest patch set (125370-06 and 127112-05 are fixing this issue). After that you should be fine.

  • Dual boot Solaris 8 and Windows XP

    Hello. I currently have windows xp as my OS. I would like to install Solaris 8 as a secondary OS. I have a separate hard drive I would like to put Solaris on. My question is, will the solaris installation allow me to choose which drive to install solaris to? Also, how can I set up my system to boot windows if I do nothing, but boot solaris if I choose to? Thanks for any help, I'm new to solaris and to dual-booting.

  • How do can I use Jumpstart to boot Solaris from Slave Drive

    Hi all,
    I have XP on Master Drive and I used Jumpstart to install Solaris on Slave Drive.
    This is the profile:
    install_type     initial_install
    system_type     standalone
    usedisk          c0d1
    boot_device      c0d1 update
    root_device     c0d1s0
    fdisk           c0d1 solaris all
    partitioning     explicit
    filesys          c0d1s0 10000 /
    filesys          c0d1s1 1111 swap
    filesys          c0d1s7 free /export/home
    cluster          SUNWCreq
    Now, I specified that the boot_device is c0d1 but after the installation the boot device is c0d0 which is my Master Drive...
    ...when I use Windows Boot Manager to boot Solaris... it cannot find the boot files on the master drive so it runs the DCA...
    ... so under the DCA I have to tell Solaris that the boot files are in my Slave Drive then I save it.
    ...I don't want to make this change everytime
    any ideas that would make this install hands free?

    ...don't know the answer to that but here is an alternative:
    ... use this as your finish script
    ... it changes the bootpath in bootenv.rc to point to the slave drive
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    open(INFILE,"/a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc");
    open(OUTFILE,">/a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc_out");
    while(<INFILE>) {
    chomp;
    #--cmdk@0,0 is the master drive
    #--cmdk@1,0 is the slave drive
    s/cmdk\@0\,0/cmdk\@1\,0/g;
    print OUTFILE "$_\n";
    #...replace bootenv.rc_out with bootenv.rc

  • Can't boot Solaris 10 during installation

    I am stuck up with a petty problem while booting Solaris 10 1/06 from the installation CD no.1. The GRUB boot loader appears fine, but when I try to boot the Solaris kernel and module, a message appears
    Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory
    My x86 computer's configuration is as follows:
    Intel Pentium 4 processor 2.83 GHz
    RAM 128 MB
    HD 80GB
    I can't figure out whether the problem is really due to insufficient memory or do I need to install more RAM on my platform.Can someone help me out with this?

    128mb is plenty of memory. No it isn't plenty of memory. Solaris 10 Update 1 or Solaris Express needs at least
    256mb of memory. The initial root ramdisk that is loaded from the CD/DVD
    uncompresses to ~ 128mb already, leaving no space for the SunOS kernel on a
    system with only 128mb of memory!

  • Booting solaris 9:  /etc/bootrc?

    I have installed solaris in PIII 500 and all works perfect during instalation, but when reboot to run this message appear:
    <i>boot:source: open of '/etc/bootrc' failed</i>
    I try to boot with the software CD1 of 2 and it say the same
    I'm changing from windows and my knowledge of unix is limited, so can you give me solutions with simple words?
    Thanks to all

    Do you have more than one HDD installed in the system, and did you
    try to install Solaris to the secondardy disk?
    It seems the <font face="Courier">boot: source: open of '/etc/bootrc' failed</font>
    problem is a bug in the Solaris installer. It writes the wrong bootpath
    property to the root filesystem of the new Solaris installation.
    <div class="pre"><pre> ----------------------</pre></div>
    I just tried to install Solaris 10 b69 on c1d0s6.
    c0d0 is the boot disk, master device on the primary ide channel.
    c1d0 is another ide disk, master device on the secondary ide channel.
    The physical device path for c1d0s6 is
    <div class="pre"><pre>
    # ls -l /dev/dsk/c1d0s6
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Jan 9 2004 /dev/dsk/c1d0s6 ->
    ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@1/cmdk@0,0:g
    </pre></div>
    But the installer writes this to /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc:
    <div class="pre"><pre>
    # grep bootpath /sol10/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc
    setprop bootpath /pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:g
    </pre></div>
    (Note: "<a href="mailto:ide&#64;0" target="_blank">ide&#64;0</a>" instead of "<a href="mailto:ide&#64;1" target="_blank">ide&#64;1</a>")
    Solaris 10 cannot be booted from the secondary disk, the Solaris boot code
    reports:
    <div class="pre"><pre>
    Run Error: File not found
    boot: source: open of '/etc/bootrc' failed
    </pre></div>
    Changing the bogus bootpath in bootenv.rc fixes the boot problem.
    It should be possible to fix the bootpath by interrupting the boot process
    with ESC, and setting the correct boot device in the "Boot Tasks" submenu
    on the last screen named "Boot Solaris".

  • ??? - Install CD w/ custom /boot/solaris/devicedb/master ?

    Howdy Friends:
    Any suggestion on how I might go about creating a custom Solaris 10 install CD with a modified /boot/solaris/devicedb/master file? My IDE controller isn't recognized by Solaris 10, and I need to modify the master file to include the driver info (Sil 0680 IDE RAID) for installation.
    I am aware I could just create an install floppy via DD, however this system does not have a floppy drive nor a working FDD controller. I also cannot boot via a USB floppy due to no support in the BIOS.
    I've tried installing via a network install (PXE), but I never get past the "Solaris Network Boot..." screen.
    Any help installing on this system would be awesome. I'm excited to use Solaris 10!

    The process for creating a bootable Solaris x86 CD is quite a bit harder than it is on Sparc hardware. Or at least it was with the only process I know about. It is much simpler to perform a network-based installation.
    One catch to the network install, however, is that a Sparc system cannot read all the partitions on the x86 Solaris CD. I had to put the disc into an existing Solaris x86 system, NFS mount a directory from my Sparc server, and perform a "./setup_install_server" from the x86 system to the NFS directory.
    Once that was complete, I could use the Sparc server to jumpstart the x86 systems using custom configurations. It also allowed me to install the correct drivers for the x86 system in question that were not part of the Solaris CD (which is one of the problems you describe).
    I realize that you were probably looking for a simpler answer that this...

  • Trying to do pxe-boot and kickstart install on sunfire x4150 using NET MGT

    I am trying to do pxe-boot and kickstart install on sunfire x4150 using NET MGT port. Is this doable? The eth0 port works fine, but the NET MGT port does not seems working. It gets the IP, gateway, mask and other info, but would not start the install. I heard that the NET MGT port is not capable of doing pxe-boot, please let me know if this is true.
    Your help is appreciated.

    The NET MGT port is for the ILOM. That interface is not visible to the Host OS so no it cannot be used for host communication including PXE booting...

    Hi,
    OpenSPARC T1 v1.5 does not support Solaris boot. This feature is scheduled for v1.6 which is expected to come out soon.
    With v1.5, you can boot hypervisor and can run stand-alone C program. Method to link C program executable in the hypervisor binary is described in the Design and Verification document.
    openboot.bin included in the S10image directory is meant for booting Solaris on Legion full-system simulator.
