I had this problem on a Blade 100 after I had installed linux on it. Solaris would not reinstall and I was getting the same errors as you, I resolved it by doing the following. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 count=1024 HTH Steve

you could just add the security warning to /etc/motd and /etc/issue HTH Steve
