well it ain't exactly on page one ....... http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2379/hbsparcboot-50162?l=en&a=view You need to press [BREAK] into the boot prom on a non SUN keyboard. Then you can type setenv auto-boot? false and the prom will stop trying to autoboot. then you can try to boot from the CDROM/DVD , if its a Sunblade 100 the unit is most likely a CDROM so it wont boot from a DVD media. You can download the CDROM media from here http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/ Install process is also documented here http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2393/webstart-91?l=en&a=view //Lars This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
