Alright, before I receive tons of email, let me explain. I'm needing to 
compare performance of windows 2000 server and Solaris 9 12/03. On a Sun 
V65x. Or so I tought I could.

I got a pair of V65x. On one I installed Solaris. On the other, I'm 
trying to install windows, but it just wont go anywhere. It doesn't look 
like it's booting the cd, somehow. It will boot Solaris in a jiffy. This 
is an intel mobo. Did Sun figure out a way to prevent Windows to boot on 
this box?

Anybody has figured a way around that, like a special boot floppy?

I know this is probably not the best list to ask this, but I didn't know 
where to ask. Cant ask on a Solaris x86 list obviously...
