open of /etc/bootrc failed

[aamira]

After dowloading Solaris 8 (Intel Edition) from Sun I have burned the image on CD using Easy CD Creator. When booting off this CD all files are copied including the mini root but when the machine is re-booted (& CD removed) then the errors 'disk read error' and 'bogus sector number' appears followed by 'boot: source: open of /etc/bootrc' failed.

Try forcibly disabling acpi, boot from DCA floppy (not from CD-Rom), then edit /solaris/bootenv.rc on the floppy and add the line:

setprop acpi-user-options '0x2'

if you dont already have one boot DCA floppy you can get one at:
