Verify You Can Boot
A simple way to test that the machine can boot from either the floppy drive, CDROM drive or primary hard disk is to simply turn it on and see what happens. There may already be a operating system on this machine and in my case this is what I saw :  Microsoft Windows 98 booting up So there I see that this machine has Microsoft Windows 98 already installed on the primary boot disk and then I hit the power switch to stop the boot process. I also insert a bootable floppy into the machine and then power up again. I won't bore you with the fact that indeed, yes, the machine can boot from the floppy and thus we know that it works. The last and final test, of critical importance to this process, is the CDROM. Power down the machine. Always wait about thirty seconds before powering up again. Then turn on the power and when we are presented with the BIOS Summary screen simply insert the Solaris 10 Update 3 CDROM 1 of 5 into the CDROM drive. |
