Hello.
Downloaded from sun the solaris 8 binaries. Ran installation fine,
partitioned the disk using default values, rebooted and then:
Part# Status Type Start Length
================================================
1 Active X86 BOOT somevalue
2 SOLARIS somevalue
3 Active X86 BOOT somevalue
4 <unused>
Please select the partition you wish to boot:
so I chose 1 (actually i found it weird there were 2 active partitions as
I only made one) ...
<bootdev>: cannot open: -no media in drive
<bootdev>: cannot open a: -no media in drive
prom_panic: could not mount filesystem
Ulch! .. looks bad :( Tips?
Also, thinking it might be with the way I partitioned the disks, I tried
redoing the installation, only to see it reboot the system everytime it
hits "Welcome to Solaris version blah blah" !!!
I would appreciate tips/URLs. Thanks!
