can't istall sol-9-8/03 on my P200
807559Dec 11 2003 — edited Dec 12 2003Hi, I�m trying to install Solaris 9 8/03 for x86 on an P200 with 128MB RAM and 8GB HD.
I can't boot the install CD, the PC is too old, so I made a floppy from the img on the software 2/2 CD.
dd.exe didn�t work, but winimage.exe did. So I booted the system with the floppy, and the install routine started.
I deleted all the old partitions, created a new one with the recomended 512 MB and followed all the steps. It copied the required files onto the harddisc (at least that�s what it said on the screen), ordered me to remove the disc and reboot by pressing return. So everything went well until then,
but during reboot, the system hangs after a short period of time.
We think it might have something to do with the scsi controller, but havent got a clue how to solve the problem.
