Are you using CDE or openwin? DO you get a login screen?

 

[italy]

yes I am using CDE and get the login secreen but every time I need to start the computer I have to use the start up disk with new check up configuration you know the procedure

 

[xkjdhdg]

Are you saying when you boot the system or when you login. I think you are talking about boot from the ok prompt. Have you tried typing boot disk at the ok prompt?
I guess what I need to know can you login and can you see you root dir.

Solaris Intel right ? ..., you need on some PCs to change bootpath by "hand" to the correct on, boot with DCA disk and change bootpath to correct one with something like eg, boot from IDE controller 1 master device:

eeprom bootpath /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a

change "/pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a" with your correct path.

Hope it helps,
