Hi,

Im trying to install a Solaris 9 OS in a Sun Fire v240 machine.

First I introduced a clear SCSI HDD and the Installation DVD in the
DVD PCI device. Whe I did 'boot' in the OPROM prompt it seemed 'Bad
magic nuber in disk label. Cant open disk label package. Evaluating: .
Cant open boot device'. When I did 'boot cdrom' it answered 'Boot
device: /pci@1e600000/ide@d/cdrom 0,0 f File and args: . Boot: cannot
open kernel/sparcv9/unix Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]:'

Then I formatted the HDD into a ufs format. And now when I do again
'boot cdrom' it answered me 'Boot device: /pci@1e600000/ide@d/cdrom
0,0 f File and args: . Boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix Enter
filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]:

SCSI HDD and IDE DVD are correctly connected. Installation CD Solaris
9 is original.

I even proved with a original Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 installation CD
with the same results...

How can I do a correct installation of Solaris??

Thanks you!!

Hi,

what does devalias show you ?. Have you tried another installation
CD ?

'probe-scsi-all' recognize me in the Unit 0 the HDD inside it.

'probe-ide' recognize me in Primary Master the DVD unit.


I have tried with 'devalias', and it appears a list of devices with
its logical and its corresponding symbolic name.

I have probed with Solaris 8, because of my version of Solaris 9 was
of 5/02, but the result is the same. When I put 'boot cdrom' it
answered me 'Boot device: /pci@1e600000/ide@d/cdrom0,0 f File and
args: . Boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix Enter filename [kernel/
sparcv9/unix]: '

I probe 'boot cdrom' with Solaris 10 and it
answered me 'Boot device: /pci@1e600000/ide@d/cdrom0,0 f File and
args: . Boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix Enter filename [kernel/
sparcv9/unix]: ' too.

What is the correct path of the kernel?


Thanks for all.

For the V240:

Minimum Supported
Solaris[tm] Operating Environment Versions
8 - 7/03 w/ patch 109885-15 or later
9 - 12/03
10

did you use one of these? Or have you tried an older version of
solaris 9?

In my UltraSparc Sun Fire v240 machine with a new HDD: Im trying now
to install Solaris 10. And when I boot cdrom I obtain this message:

'Boot device: /pci@1e600000/ide@d/cdrom0,0 f File and args: . Boot:
cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]:
'

How can I do to install Solaris 10 in this machine??
