Okay, I can try that...
I went back to the b22 install disks I had originally used and they failed at
the line just before the load 'drv/log' id ... line mentioned earlier.
Currently running a Dell disk drive check to make sure it wasn't the drive,
which is good for a couple hours of waiting.
Since I have the desktop with Solaris, can you point me at a good read for
setting up live upgrade and I'll give that a go as well.
Search for it on docs.sun.com.
You are out of luck if you don't have a spare slice on you drive at
least a big as your current /. If not and you have a big enough
/export/home, you could back it up and use format to split it in two,
with one slice for the new /.
I normally create an install server from the CD ISOs,
# lofiadm -a <path to iso>/sol-nv-b25-x86-v1.iso
/dev/lofi/1
# mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
# cd /mnt/Solaris_11/Tools/
# ./setup_install_server <path to install image>
# cd
# umount /mnt
# lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1
# lofiadm -a <path to iso>/sol-nv-b25-x86-v2.iso
/dev/lofi/1
# mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
# cd /mnt/Solaris_11/Tools/
# ./add_to_install_server <path to install image>
# cd
# umount /mnt
# lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1
repeat for cd 3 and 4.
The install image can then be used for live upgrade, or you can set up
network install.
If you have a CD that will boot and get to the bit that asks you which
media to use, you can point the installer at this image.
