[SunHELP] Sun Disk label

[Tige D. Chastain]

I forgot to mention that the drives are in another box 
that cannot boot from CD-ROM because the disks don't
have a valid Sun label on them.

Trying not to pull them out of the box and remount into another.
If I have to, I guess I will.

I wonder if I do net install with disks not having sun label...
