Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

Boot from CD-ROM

Installing the first two systems requires using the 2 Trusted Solaris 8 installation CDs. The following are examples of booting from a CD on a SPARC and on an Intel machine.

  1. Insert the first of two (2) Trusted Solaris 8 Installation CDs and type the boot command.

    For example, on a SPARC system:


    boot cdrom
    

    See the following example for the Intel Architecture boot procedure.


Example 4-1 IA: Typical boot procedure

  1. Do one of the following:

    • OPTION 1: Enable the system to boot from a CD by using the system's BIOS setup tool.

    • OPTION 2: Insert the provided floppy, then insert the first CD.

  2. Follow the directions in the platform-specific book described in "Installation Guides", keeping in mind that Solaris Web Start ard upgrade are not supported, and that you are using Trusted Solaris CDs, not Solaris CDs.
