boot problem

[inma]

I have a SPARC Ultra10 machine and solaris 5. When I boot it
the ok prompt appears.
From CD-ROM I do boot cdrom -s and display:
enter filename [kernel/unix]:
I type kernel or unix and always display "boot cannot open kernel/unix"
¿how can I do it?

> SPARC Ultra10
do you know the exact Model type? Is it the 450 MHz Model?
the 450 MHz CPUs require a newer OS Release (guessing it was Solaris 5.8 HW 5/98)

> solaris 5.
hmm, what is the EXACT Version of Solaris you try to boot?
Where did you get this CD? Is it a CD not a DVD? Have you tried another CD?

Thanks Franz for your quick answer.
1)SPARC Ultra10
It is a UltraSPARC-IIi 333MHz

2) solaris 5.
version 2.5.1 in a CD from Sun Microsystem, and I have another one, but it is the same thing.

Either a bad CD or CD drive.

If the CDs are original CDs (not copies that you made) then it's probably the CD drive/cable.

Also check the version of Solaris 5 as Franze pointed out.

Minimum required version - 2.5.1 - HW 11/97 , this should be on the CD if it's an original SUN CD.

Hi dandan123,
both CDs are original from Sun Microsystems. I can read them with windows XP.
I think the CD drive is all right because I can boot from a solaris 7, but then I cannot see all disks.
Thnks for all.
