o fer goodness sake.. that's really annoying! for the record though... a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, i DID get solaris 8 successfully running on vmware, at least enough to run the installer. It was the only way i could install solaris on that particular hardware since there was no solaris-recognizable cdrom drive :) (which means that at minimum, it recogized the disks properly) But to do it, you would have to degrade the disks down to a vmware emulated "PIO mode", I think. performance would be horrible, comparatively speaking. looking forwar to the LX50. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
