[SunHELP] Boot cdrom on ultra10

[anna menshch]

I tried all of that.  The CD works fine on other systems, like E250.

The CDrom is not original to the system.  It is an older machine and has
atapi CDRom not a scsi one.

Hi

You should be able to boot a Solaris 8 CDROM from the boot cdrom no problem.
Only thing I can think is maybe an odd version of Sol 8. Can you actually
boot it on another Sparc system or just look at it? Also is this CDROM the
original with the system?

Also in the Sol 8 set there are 2 bootable disks, have you tried both of
them?

Hello,

I have an Ultra 10 box.  Wanted to install Solaris 8 on it.
The usual boot cdrom did not work.  It says, can't read the label on the
disk.
I checked the CD, it works fine on other machines.

I think that it might be happening because it is not a scsi cdrom.  But I
can browse the CD once I am logged in, so the system sees it.

I tried to boot c0t2d0 this is what df -k showed.  Did not work.

Please help
