Hello, I'm new to the Open Solaris community. I recently downloaded Solaris 10 for x86 - with much excitement I must add. But I encountered problems once I unzipped the compressed iso images and try to burn them onto the CDs. I tried 2 different CD-burning softwares - RecordNow! and Nero 8 trial version. In RecordNow! I used the boot disc creation feature. It produced a CD that got to the boot stage, but my Dell Dimension 8200 just replied "missing operating system" when it encountered the CD. Using Nero (and RecordNow! again), I also tried just burning the first iso image onto the CD, but the computer skipped over the CD altogether (BIOS boot sequence has been set to boot from CD-ROM drive first) and went straight to the hard disk, suggesting that it just sees a non-bootable iso image.
Can someone help me solve this riddle? BTW, do I need to make discs 2 -6 bootable or will regular iso images do? It's been very frustrating. I ordered the Solaris 10 CDs from Sun this morning so I can move forward. But I still would like to learn this vital step. Your insight would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time. newbie This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
