Installing Solaris 10 from a SCSI DVD driveand a Tekram DC-390U adapter
I'm tryng to install Solaris x86 from a SCSI DVD drive wth a Tekram DC-390U adapter (DVD version downloaded from the sun website).
When the computer boots from the DVD the Solaris Configuration Assistant is run and ask me to choose the device which I want to boot from. The problem is the list only contains my hard drive and a CD drive, but not the DVD drive.
I guess Solaris doesn't include any driver for that specific SCSI adapter, which I find quite surprising as any old Linux or *BSD works fine with it. And the card is also listed in the device list Solaris has found while probing the system.
I tried to download drivers from the Tekram webiste but they are limited to Solaris 8. I didn't try them 'cause it takes me so much time to get a floppy drive up and running...
PS : Installing on a VirtualPC 2004 guest works fine, but it's so slow...
