Hi All,
I greatly appreciate if anyone could show some light
on this issue.
Things i have done (in chronological order)
------------------
1. Downloaded Solaris 10 from sun ( CD format 4 CD's)
2. I have booted and installed solaris using CD #1
(boot), Though setup detected my display card and had
1024 * 728 but for some reasons the GUI mode of
installation didn't occur ( i chose choice 1
interactive, this isn't a real problem though)
2. Successfully installed first CD
3. Problem : Now system reboots , i made sure to
remove CD#1 , and inserted CD#2 however when system
rebooted i had following error
a) cannot set locale correctly ( i set English(US))
b) sendMail error :
sendmail[nnn]: unqualified host name (solarisi)
unknown; sleeping for retry
for 3.b i have tried to edit hosts file and set
a dummy one e.g solarisi.foo.bar but this didn't
work
4. Biggest Problem : After installation of CD#1
system reboots and with sendmail and locale error
when i click enter it prompts for password
i enter root and root password
strange thing now is it goes to prompt # (root)
where i can access the directories and files
now my question are
===================
a) why system is not prompting for CD#2 after i
enter root password ???
b) how to install CD #2 , CD #3 , CD #4 ??
c) without fixing the sendmail error is it not
possible to proceed further to setup other cd's??
I greatly appreciate if anyone can help on this,
Thanks a ton,
Abdul Aleem
