The Device Configuration Assistant (Solaris x86 Platform Edition) is a program that enables you to perform various hardware configuration and booting tasks. You can access the Solaris Device Configuration Assistant from either of the following:
Solaris boot diskette
Solaris Installation CD or DVD
In the procedures in this chapter, you might be requested to insert the Solaris Device Configuration Assistant boot diskette to boot the Configuration Assistant. If your system's BIOS supports booting from the CD or DVD, you can, instead, insert the Solaris installation CD or DVD to boot the Configuration Assistant.
Insert the Solaris Device Configuration Boot Diskette or the Solaris Installation CD or DVD in the appropriate drive.
If the system displays the Type any key to continue prompt, press any key to reboot the system.
You can also use the reset button at this prompt. If the system is shut down, turn the system on with the power switch.
The first menu of the Configuration Assistant is displayed after a few minutes.
