Greetings all,
About a month or so back, I came into an Ultra 10. The machine was given to me without a hard drive, so I threw in an old Maxtor 40GB that I had sitting around. Managed to get Linux working on it (mostly) well, and now I decided it's time to try Solaris. So, I've got all the ISO's downloaded, and here's what happens when I throw in disc 1:

Let me also say aside from this that the machine is VERY slow to do anything when it comes to booting off this CD -- e.g., the little bit that I hand-copied probably takes about 20 minutes to get to that point. However, in my messing around, I did manage to run format and get my swap partition and root partition, and when I turned the swap on with
swap -a /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0, the speed problem seems to alleviate itself...telling me that it's running out of memory.
Suggestions as to where I should go from here?
Thanks,
Matt
