Getting Started on the Oracle Solaris OS
Powering On and Powering Off the Server
You will not see the output of the factory-installed Oracle Solaris 10 OS image through a monitor when you power on the server. Instead, the output of the factory-installed image is directed to a serial console.
GRUB, the open source boot loader, is the default boot loader. The boot loader is the first software program that runs after you power on a system.
From the GRUB menu, you have the option of displaying the installation process to a VGA connection (video port), as shown in the following figure.
******************************************************************* * Solaris 10 09/10 s10x_u9wos_14a X86 - Serial Port (ttya) * * Solaris 10 09/10 s10x_u9wos_14a X86 - Graphics Adapter * * Solaris failsafe * * * * * * * * * * * *******************************************************************
Note - The first line of this figure shows the default startup mode.
For example, to display output to the video port, select the following option:
Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86 - Graphics Adapter
