recently had to use solaris at work and liked it. So thought of getting it on intel box at home to learn it. I have never worked on a unix based OS before. When I installed the OS first time, the desktop would not start up, this was because of network setup. Reinstalled worked. After a week due to some problem i had to reinstall OS, installation went fine and but when i reboot i get this errror.

cannot find mis/krtld
boot error loading interpreter(misc/krtld)
elf32 read error
load error read of "platform/i86pc/kernel/unix failed.
boot path /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,1/ide0/cmdk@0,0:a

i have been trying to reinstall with many option like formatting with windows fdisk, linux installer everything as I saw somehwre that disk needs low level format.

I have googled but could not find any reason.

When I try to format disk using windows this is the information gatherd
Partition1 (solarisboot) 12 MB
partition2 unknown 152610

Hardware

pentium4 2.4 GHZ
1Gb DDR memor
Intel Original mother board.
140 Gb hard disk

Installation

install type 3 (tried all options)

entire disk for boot and solaris
accepted almost all parameters.

downloaded again , burned a DVD still same.

Any help will be highly apreciated, as I have been trying out everything I could find, also I really want to learn to use solaris
