Do not use the Solaris 9 Installation CD unless your system can boot across the 1024–cylinder limit. Logical block addressing (LBA) enables the machine to boot beyond the 1024–cylinder limit and across Solaris disk slices. Use the Solaris 9 Installation CD when your system's BIOS and SCSI driver for the default boot disk supports LBA.
To determine if your system supports LBA,
type:
# prtconf -pv | grep -i lba
|
If the BIOS and SCSI driver for the default boot disk support LBA, the following message appears.
If the SCSI driver for the default boot disk does not support LBA, the following message appears.
If the BIOS and SCSI driver for the default boot disk do not support LBA, use the Solaris 9 DVD or a net installation image to install or upgrade.
