[SunHELP] Solaris 9 x86 install

Thu Mar 13 11:29:57 CST 2003

Robert,

It's just like the SPARC version. You want to use "Disk 1 of 2" to install. Honestly, I don't know why Sun distributed the "Install" disk. Anyway, when you boot from "Disk 1 of 2", you can select the install to function in terminal mode (without graphics). Unfortunately I don't remember where in the DCA (Device Configuration Assistant) screen this is available. Check it out. It is available.

>Am I correct in that one can install Sol 9 without the graphical "web jump" nonsense? Do I boot from the Software Disk? Also, I'm trying to install on a box that Sol 9 Install Cd (incorrectly) identifies as a 486??? How do I get around this and force an install? CC: me on replies, I am on the digest!
