I recently bought a used Sun Blade 2500 Silver. The system has been completly wiped, so I get an OpenBoot prompt when I boot.
When I look on Oracle's compatibility page, I can see the station is able to run Solaris 10 8/11. So I downloaded the OS from the Oracle website.
According to the documentation I found, to install Solaris 10 from OpenBoot should be quite easy: put the DVD in the player, enter boot cdrom
and then follow the instruction on screen.
Problem is, when I enter boot cdrom
, I get the following message:
read failed
Evaluating:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
I checked the DVD-ROM is able to read DVD-R. It is. And now, I have no further idea. Any clue?
