I have had a certain amount of success installing opensolaris and then solaris 
10. Ultimately through the advice of LQ members I choose to install the Solaris 
Community Express Edition.

It fails miserably by looping displaying the following message...I have had a

Ultimately through the advice of LQ members I choose to install the Solaris

It fails miserably by looping displaying the following message...

It first of all loops a couple of times and then I can choose which console to 
start...then it loops again with the same message...

Before coming up with the message

Using install cd in /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0
Using RPC for network configuration parameters

The install then breaks into a never ending loop displaying the above WARNING: 
/pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 14,1/ide at 0/cmdk at 1,0 (Disk1): message and its 
follow ons continuously.

Now when I had Solaris 10 installed during normal boot, this message was 
displayed on the console, but the boot sequence continued.

Anyone seen this before and what does it mean. Does the installation process 
not like the fact that I have a NTFS partition on the first disk.
