I've got a Pentium II, 128Mb PC, with an IDE 20Gb Quantum Fireball Plus LM, I partitioned it into four partitions using MasterBooter. Installed Windows 98 onto the 1st partition, NT4 onto the 2nd partition, and Solaris 2.6 onto the 3rd partition. No problems booting Win 98 and NT4. When I boot Solaris for the first time after successfully installing it, it failed. Here is a screen shot:
SunOS Secondary Boot version 3.00
Solaris Intel Platform Edition Booting System
Running Configuration Assistant...
Autobooting from bootpath: /isa/ata@1,1f0/cmdk@0,0:a
If the system hardware has changed or to boot from a different device,
interrupt the autoboot process by pressing ESC.
Press ESCape to interrupt autoboot in 1 seconds.
Initializing System Please wait...

I've tried installing Solaris 2.6 onto the 1st partition and could boot Solaris up without any problems, but NT4 wouldn't boot when installed on the 3rd partition!
Could you please tell me why Solaris 2.6 wouldn't boot when installed onto the 3rd partition?
Thanks,
