IA: Solaris Device Configuration Assistant Boot Diskette Is Not Available

The Solaris 9 Device Configuration Assistant is not delivered as a boot diskette in the Solaris 9 12/02 release. To boot the Device Configuration Assistant, choose one of the following options.

• If your system's BIOS supports CD booting, boot from the Solaris 9 12/02 (x86 Platform Edition) Installation CD, the Solaris 9 12/02 Software (x86 Platform Edition) 1 of 2 CD, or the Solaris 9 12/02 Software (x86 Platform Edition) DVD.

• Create a boot diskette by copying the boot-diskette image to a diskette. The boot-diskette image is available at the following locations.

  • Solaris 9 12/02 Software (x86 Platform Edition) 2 of 2 CD

  • The Solaris Developer Connection Web site at http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/dca_diskettes

  Copy the image to a diskette, then boot the system from the diskette.

• If your system supports Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) booting and an install image is available on the network, boot from the network.

  Enable the system to use PXE by using the system's BIOS setup tool or the network adapter's configuration setup tool.
