It is very clear to me. I have a V240 Sun Sparc server. I wan to install Solaris 10 10/09(update 8) to it.
I have downloaded the dvd iso image from Oracle.com and burnt into dvd using PowerISO.
1. I have power off the server and removed hard disk.
2. Power on the server and insert the DVD.
3. Wait till ok promt (Till it display:
Can't open boot device
{1} ok ) and typed "boot cdrom"
4. Then the bootup process is not starting. Wait for 30 mins.
5. I have installed earlier versions and have experience in installing Solaris.
Hope it is clear now.
.
What ca be the reason? I saw lot of places where lot of users reporting the same problem.
