Sunblade Server 1000. Trying to Boot for CD.

[ZachBenj]

I have a Sunblade 1000 that another dept is no longer using and nobody has a password for it. I have downloaded OPen solaris for SPARc and burned the image to a CD. How to I get the server to boot from CD?

Any info wold be appreciated.
thanks,

You burned it as an iso image, correct?

You should be on the system console.

From the open boot prompt (the ok> prompt) use the boot cdrom command.

ok>boot cdrom

Which will boot off the cd/dvd and then enter the Solaris install program. If you wish to only boot in a single user session off of the cd/dvd image use "ok>boot cdrom -s"
