Please help installing solaris 10 -x86

Hello, Im a total newbie to solaris, can someone please help me installing?
I download solaris-10 x86 and I joined the 5 iso files and burnt the dvd, it appears to be OK, but when I boot the dvd all I get is the command line
GNU GRUB Version 0,95 Grub>
according to the installation notes it is supposed to boot into a menu which allows various installation choices.
How can I start the installation from the command line? or is there something missing from the dvd?
the dvd has 20,023 files) (44,216 folders) (size on disk 3,57GB)
Thanks
Tom

  • Please suggest the fastest way to install Solaris x86 PC 30 boxes

    I've already tested one and it's successfully installed.
    I have to install 30 boxes , all are same spec.
    Please advise the fastest procedure to install.
    Note : There is no sparc machine.

    Only problem with imaging a Solaris x86 box is that your machines will end up with the same hostid (which is pseudo-randomly generated at Solaris installation time for x86). This may, or may not, be a problem, depending on what commercial software you use...
    To avoid this, you have to use jumpstart, or do some serious hacking.

  • Help installing solaris 10 on macbook pro 2009 15 inch 2.66

    I'm using bootcamp to install this. When I start the installation, it's fine. I choose the second option (can't recall the name right now) and proceed to the point where it says to choose a language. At this point, my keyboard and trackpad is COMPLETELY unresponsive. I cannot do a thing and had to force eject the DVD to get it to boot to OS X. I am tempted to quit trying to make Solaris work and go to Linux. Please help!

    Boot Solaris with "output-device=ttya" (edit the bootflags in grub using the interactive menu commands) and it will install just fine.

  • Help installing Solaris 10 with hyperterminal

    ?I am trying to install Solaris 10 using windows xp with hyperterminal.. I have tried to locate simple steps that would help me with this process. Can anyone help me with this?

    The first step before we start Solaris installation depends on how you can connect to the platform. Please check in your platform documentation if you should use a specific connection type to connect to your machine console. Is a service processor or service controler available ?
    Then when this step is done, you can follow this documentation : Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 Installation Guide: Basic Installations - Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 Installation Guide: Basic Instal…

    I boot from CD run through the sun boot part ok.
    Then i select to boot from my CD at the end. THis works fine.
    It then starts to load sunOs 2.8 but restarts very shortly after and does'nt give me a chance to read error message.
    I tryed loads of different configs with no sucess Please help.
    The system i run is a p4 wit intels G850GB Mainboard geforce2, 128MB PC 800

    P4, seems not supported yet. Try to look into the
    Solaris Intel forum next to this. Some discussions
    about P4 already. Maybe you will find what you want.Indeed.
    Have a look at
    http://groups.google.com/groups?q=solaris+p4+setup_mca+kadb&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&site=groups
    these usenet articles give a procedure to boot solaris 8
    on a P4 cpu.
    Once you've got the system installed using the kadb
    procedure given above you should try to install the latest
    kernel patch 108529-08 that fixes problem solaris has with
    these P4 cpus.

  • Help Installing Solaris 10 on Sony vaio laptop which shipped with Vista

    Hello All,
    I am very new to solaris. As part of first step of learning i am trying to install solaris on my laptop, as it already downgraded from Vista to XP. Now my laptop is loaded with XP i am planning to install solaris as a dual boot.
    Can anybody guide me or suggest me how to walk through the installation process.
    I have encountered an issue while trying to install installing ( it is unable to detect the harddisk of my laptop, i am unable to find out the root cause i have two options in mind, 1) there is no unpartitioned space left for solaris to install & the 2) is SATA disabling.
    Help is highly appretiated.
    Thanks,
    Naveen.

    From my (admittedly limited) experience:
    1) It's not a matter of merely no unpartitioned space; the installer would still see the drive.
    2) SATA is not a showstopper. I installed on a 500 GB SATA drive on an HP XW4400 workstation that has an Intel 82801G SATA controller. However, when I first tried to install, I got to the list of target drives and the list was blank as if I had no drives. I went into the bios setting of the workstation and changed 'SATA emulation' from "AHCI" to "IDE" and then Solaris installed just fine.

  • Help Installing Solaris on a windows XP computer

    Hello,
    I just downloaded the Solaris 10 O/S and burned it to a CD to install it. However, I need help on installing it and setting up my hard drive and bios for dual booting. How do I do that?
    I have seen that Fedora 6 has a partitioning program to automatically resize and partition the hard drive, as well as a program to setup dual booting. Does Solaris have these programs or do I have to use a program like partition magic? Would someone help me setup my system so that I can successfully install Solaris, dual boot and not lose Windows XP and my existing files. Thank you

  • Need help installing Solaris 10

    Hello expert,
    I installed solaris 10 on my Ultra 2 box a few months back, for learning purposes, then I stopped using it. NOW I FORGOT ALL THE PASSWORD, INCLUDING ROOT PASSWORD.
    I want to resintall solaris 10, but how do i get to the ok prompt if I don't remember the root password?
    Please let me know if there is any other way that I can reinstall solaris from scratch.
    thanks for all your help

    This question is asked in these forums about every six weeks.
    It's answered every time.
    Most of the answers are finally....
    Use Google.
    search with solaris root password
    see 2 milion results from such a search
    the information isn't a secret
    (you won't need to go beyond the first page of search results.)
    Google does indeed work for this issue.
    Oh, and have your OS installation CD's ready.
    You'll need them to repair your computer.
    ... and yes, you can repair it without reinstalling anything.

  • Please help -installed update from itunes wiped my phone

    I just installed an update on itunes and it must have done some sort of factory reset as it wiped everything including my contacts from my phone. I plugged it in again to see if it could install a back up and I can't find anything. Also, it started 'backing up' the new empty phone and asked me to register it.
    Please help anyone- I had a lot of music and expensive aps on there not to mention contacts and diary entries. I never had problems with it before but this is an absolute nightmare.
    Many thanks

    Am really annoyed now- by the number of people viewing this thread this is clearly a big problem and yet nobody at Apple has bothered to help. I would much rather pick up the phone and speak to someone but can't because it's been 90 days since my purchase.
    I have spent a lot of money on music and aps and it looks like Apple don't even care- it's a disgrace. I can now see what all the fuss is about in the media and why people are angry at them as well. I won't be buying any of their products again that's for sure.

    On older ATA drives there are little plastic tabs that, depending on configuration, designate a drive as "Master" or "Slave." If both drives are configured as "master" it can sometimes cause one not to be seen by the computer.
    I only mentioned it because:
    A) I had it happen 2x with my old G4.
    B) Most new drives are shipped with the jumpers in "master" position, I'm guessing because they assumed most people were replacing their primary drives, not adding them.
    Check out these links for more about jumpers on drives.
