SPARC based systems only This error occurs when you are installing Solaris 8 over a network, but the boot software cannot locate the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 CD image (either the CD labeled Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 or a copy of the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 CD image on the install server). |
Make sure that the installation software is mounted and shared. If you are installing Solaris 8 from the install server's CD-ROM drive, make sure the CD labeled Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 is inserted in the CD-ROM drive, is mounted, and is shared in the /etc/dfs/dfstab file. If installing from a copy of the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 CD image on the install server's disk, make sure the directory path to the copy is shared in the /etc/dfs/dfstab file. |
