taskman, provide a bit of info for folks to work with maybe.

1. post your output for "uname -a"

2. are you running a system installed from "sxce" that would be an .iso named 
something like "sol-nv-b94-x86-dvd.iso" or is it an "opensolaris" distribution 
named something like "osol-0811-93.iso".

3. download the checksum file for your unbootable DVD and check it in terminal 
with some thing like "md5sum sol-nv-b94-md5sum-x86.txt" where the second part 
is modified for the specific md5 file name

4. post the output for "df".  this will help folks understand what file system 
you are using ie ufs or zfs

5. if you are on an open solaris system with package manager, I would strongly 
suggest figuring out how to use live upgrade or beadm to make a new Boot 
Environment. this gives you a second chance if the update does something borkey 
and is unbootable.

6. fyi. anything after build 86 (2008.05) is not outdated but rather is 
developmental and can have bugs sometimes big ones indeed you might want to 
consider sticking with b86 until November when  the next Stable version is due 
and instead grabbing a copy of Netbeans and having some fun, eh?

gl. hope i ve been of some help

sgk.
