hi, you can try reseting your bios to the default settings (load BIOS defaults/load Setup defaults), disable power management (disable acpi), disable boot virus detection, turn on PNP. try installing from the second cd labeled: Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 (it is also bootable - choose interactive installation). do you get an error before the reboot occurs ? you can also check the hardware compatibility list for this solaris release at http://docs.sun.com to see if your hardware is supported.
hope this helps. Stoyan Angelov ----- Original Message ----- From: "L.
