Hello, I try to install Sun Solaris ix86 on a laptop.

Best 3150 ( Clevo ) 433 MhZ
128 RAM
6 GB HD

When it boot from the cd ( the install cd or cd # 1)
I get the message:
_____________________________
SunOS Secondary Boot version 3.00

<bootdev>: can't open - bios configuration error
<bootdev>: a : can't open - bios configuration error
prom_panic: Could not mount filesystem.
Entering boot debugger:
[135aa9]: _
---------------------------------------

If I hit enter I get a list of commands.

I have disabled the 'Plug and Play OS' in bios.
How do I go along with the installation?

typical sunOS .. the bootstrap is unable to read from the CDROM drive, and cannot mount the "root" filesystem from the CDROM.

OK on cd 2 you'll find the floppy disk configuration image called d1_image under solaris_9/tools/. You will need to download dd.exe from http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#aboutdd. Run dd in cmd window from cd folder /solaris_9/tools type:

dd d1_image a:

thats it -- reboot with this floppy + install cd and your in..
