When I attempt to install solaris7 (intel) on using the configuration assistant disk I get the following: Error: couldn't open solaris/machines/conf011.rc and then instructs you to press <cntl-D> and the following is displayed: Boot: source: open of /etc/bootrc failed. The software is new, open the seal myself. Please help, thank-you.

Might be a corrupted DCA Diskette or ...
Try creating again the Device Configuration Assistant (DCA)
Diskette as per
TIP: Don't use the "Installation" CDROM.
It usually doesn't work.
Try again the installation with the one labelled "1 of 2".
At which exact point of the procedure do you get that
message about conf011.rc ?

fishfat3:
Software is not the problem. Check your SCSI CDROM. SUN Solaris is set to TARGET a CDROM on target 6,0. So when you do an ' init 0 ' and then ' set-defaults ' a now run a ' probe-scsi-all ' if it returns a different Target number for your CDROM then you mess around with the commands to try to set to ( 6,0 )
But the easier approach is to move from left to right two small pins to loaction #2 and #3 or ( MODE SELECT )which is to the left of the scsi cable connector.
You see it as a diagram on the cdrom drive. This give you your default (6,0 ) for SUN Solaris.
Once you start again with init 0 and set-default then ' boot cdrom ' Once this happens your cdrom drive will begin reading data
