Greetings, all.

I have a fairly standard system (1.2GHz Intel, 768MB RAM) that refuses to boot 
with anything newer than Solaris 10, Update 1. I'm wanting to build it with the 
newest Build 62 bits, but after the BIOS, it just pauses for a few moments with 
the DVD drive spinning, and then comes back with:
Boot Failed: System halted

I hunted around for the Install Check tool (name?), but it doesn't seem to 
exist anymore. I've also grovelled through the BIOS settings, and nothing seems 
out of place. Considering I've had some success with much older systems, I'm at 
a bit of a loss. Is there anything that changed that drastically in the newer 
versions that would cause this? Any pointers to where that Install Check boot 
CD image may have disappeared to? I know at least one of the four DVD's I've 
got works, as I've used it elsewhere to build a couple systems (including the 
much older PC's). If the DVD drive was flakey (it's pretty new), I would expect 
some failure with the older DVD, and with the WinXP disk I have, but they work 
fine.

Thanks in advance,
Rainer
