Never mind .. I fixed it. I booted off of the Install CD and mounted the /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 partition and deleted /etc/path_to_inst file and copied the one created in the /tmp directory when th CD booted. Something in the device names was screwed up from the different IDE controller.

Hi .. I just upgraded my motherboard and cpu from a Tyan Titun board with an AMD 233MHZ cpu to an ASUS A7V with a 900 MHZ Duron cpu. Solaris 8 starts to boot ok but my first clue of a problem was it went into the DCA screen instead of booting off of my first drive. If I select the hard drive to...

Thanks for the response...so far no luck....but I'll keep looking.

Go to www.solarisprep.com and take the free practice test.

Hi....I haven't seen many Solaris 8 practice sites. Have you been taking the tests at www.solarisprep.com? I wouldn't think there is much difference between the part 1 test of Solaris 7 and 8.

In case you have problems during install here's the URL of a FAQ for Solaris x86...........http://sun.drydog.com/faq/

Here's the URL for making the DCA boot diskette..... http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/dca_diskettes/

Not sure what type of problem you're having. What disk are you refering to? If your pc can boot off of the software #1 cd...use that, otherwise use the dca boot diskette and install off of the software #1 cd.

Hi....I believe the easiest suggestion around the 2nd cd problem is to type the full pathname to runInstaller program rather than changing to the directory on the cd and running runInstaller. Worked for me the 2nd time after I couldn't umount the cd.
