Solaris installation - cannot boot from CDROM

687894Dec 2 2010 — edited Dec 7 2010
Hi Everyone,

I am trying to install Solaris 10 on T5220 machine, but I am facing an issue where I cannot boot off a CD.

Everytime I try booting from a CD (on a DVD-RW, ISO image) it gives me the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{0} ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4/device@4/storage@0/disk@0:f File and args:
SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_120011-14 64-bit

device: no major number
Cannot load drivers for /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4/device@4/storage@0/disk@0,0:b
can't load the root filesystem
Debugging requested; hardware watchdog suspended.
Type 'go' to resume
{0} ok
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a totally brand new server...

Anyone has any ideas? I am at a loss :(

Thank you!

Svetlana
