Configuration Assistant Phase

During this phase, the Configuration Assistant attempts to identify devices on the system.


Solaris Device Configuration Assistant 
 
The Solaris(TM) 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) Device Configuration 
Assistant scans to identify the devices on the system, lists 
identified devices, and enables you to boot the Solaris software 
from a specified device. This program must be used whenever you 
install the Solaris operating environment or change the hardware 
on the system. 
 
> To perform a full scan and identify all the devices on the system, 
  choose Continue.         
 
> To perform a partial scan and identify only the automatically
  detected devices, choose Partial Scan. (Choose Partial Scan if a
  full scan has previously failed.) 
                                                                                                    F2_Continue    F4_Partial Scan    F6_Help

Scanning Devices Phase

During this phase, all devices connected to the system are scanned.


Scanning Devices  
 
The system is being scanned to identify all devices on the system.  
If the scanning stalls, press the system's reset button. When the 
system reboots, choose Partial Scan or Help.
