[Sunhelp] Solaris x86 booting

Hi all

I have had a query regarding booting Solaris on Intel machines from
floppy.  Is there anyway to disable this.  Apperantly the problem is
that if there is bootable media in the floppy drive, then even when boot
priorities in the CMOS settings are changed to disregard the floppy
completely, the machine will still continue booting from floppy.  The
core Solaris will boot in from disk, and then if it sees bootable media
in floppy, it will continue booting from that.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Iano
