I'm new to opensolaris and I wanted to install a test system on VMWare 5.0 (Windows host). I downloaded the opensolaris express cds (sol-nv-b27a-x86-v1.iso). I'm trying to boot from the images but the installer freezes without error. I get past the prompt for selecting installation type (Solaris Interactive, Custom Jumpstart...). The I see:
using install cd ... Using RPC bootparams... Attempting to configure interface pcn0... Skipped interface pcn0 [nothing] At this point it just stops dead, no error, nothing. I've left it for an hour (to get lunch) with no progress and it's not showing any signs of processing or disk access. I'm tried the Solaris 9 & 10 profiles in VMWare. I also tried the "other/other" profile. I also tried SCSI and IDE hard disk types. I'm out of ideas. Anyone? Bueller? Thanks...
