Can't boot from new downloaded solaris 10 cd's 2

[droodle]

Just downloaded solaris 10 from the sun website which is on 5 cd's i've burnt them and put cd 1 in my sparc ultra 10 box and sent the command boot cdrom from the ok prompt ...

I get the message

the file just loaded does not appear to be executable

any ideas ...

i built solaris 9 on the same computer in the same way a while back.

thanks.

I know this is a dumb question, but are you sure you downloaded the sparc version?

Also were your burns good?

It actually sounds like a media issue.

It's probably a media/burn problem, SUN CD drives seem to be picky in my experience.

yep it was a burn issue i burnt the cd's in a different burner and its all working !
