I tried initially with 79a but during the initial boot it hangs. So i tried my luck with 70b yet the same result. How is it that the installations is happening and not the boot from the disk? Also solaris should not by default choose 64bit ,shouldn't it be left to the user to choose what he wants? Anyway i changed it from 64bit to 32 and tried booting, yet the same problem persists... I need solaris up and running as early as possible, so please assist!!! Is changing my hardware my only option? because this system is only 4days old!! :'(
Thanks Shampavman CA ,India
