Dear Sirs,
I have created a bootable iso DVD disk using Nero and it boots into a
Caldera DR-DOS program on my Toshiba A-65. I reinstalled Windows
leaving
half the disk open for Solaris, intending to have a dual boot option
which I
have done before successfully with Fedora 8 using their install disk.
The
error messages are: EMM 386 Warning adress in A20 already enabled. And:
EMM
386: Cannot find an unused 64 kilobyte range of upper memory to use for
an
EMS page frame. Using FRAME =
NONE
FRAME= NONE
Anybody out there dual booting Solaris with Windows on a Toshiba
laptop?
Is
there some code or command I need to enter in DOS to get the install to
start? Your attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated.
I'm a little lost here ...
Are you trying to begin the Solaris install process _after_ you have the
machine up and running Windows ?

That's correct. Thanks for the reply. I have been able to do dual
booting
with Redhat Linux before and thought I should be able to do the same
thing
with Solaris. I'm not too sure about if it will work on this Toshiba
laptop though. Are you aware of any problems dual booting Solaris
alongside Windows on a laptop? Also I uninstalled Windows, scrubbed the
disk and got exactly the same error message described above trying to
install Solaris 10 solo. Bruce
whoa ...
if you take a Solaris 10 or Solaris Express DVD and boot that box with
it you get that error ?
I mean you do this :
(1) insert the DVD
(2) power off - totally - cold
(3) power on
(4) watch it boot the DVD
Dennis
O.K. Thanks, I'll try that, unplugging the machine and then taking the
battery out. Meanwhile I remembered my old BootitNG software and got to
looking at it. It has options for creating and initializing Solaris 10
partition but it wants me to use a floppy to provide a boot image and this
machine ain't got one. So I called terabyteunlimited and the guy said try
an app called burn cdcc downloadable at their website (free) and then got
to talking about the .iso files I had burned onto the bootable DVD with
Nero and he told me I have to use the fileburn image option there instead
of just straight copying the files onto the DVD and making it bootable. So
I'll try that too and keep you posted. Bruce
