Does it really lock up the serial console on X86 on 87? I've had several X86's here installed with allsorts of NV builds (I haven't tried 87 specifically yet though,) and while X starts up on the VGA console by default, I've never had a problem using the kernel's 'true' console over the serial port. I just hit enter after I see the message about X starting and anew login prompt appears. -Kyle >> Not sure why the install-launcher service is trying >> to run - has Solaris been fully installed in text >> mode, >> > > Yes > > >> then the system rebooted from the disk, >> > > Yes > > r>ather than booting from the DVD again? > > Why after installing do I need to boot from the DVD again? > > >> Cheers >> >> Andrew. >> > > Cheers > Richard. > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > install-discuss mailing list > install-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/install-discuss >
