RE: [PLUG] Solaris 7 BD

["Sean R. Cummins" <scummins@e-vend.net>]

http://docs.sun.com has all of the Solaris docs.. I'm not sure if it has x86
stuff, but it probably does.  Also, http://access1.sun.com and
http://sunsolve.sun.com should have patches and updates, etc..

And for free software in packaged format, try http://www.sunfreeware.com or
http://metalab.unc.edu.

Hey Jim,

Never installed Solaris before, but here is a shot in the dark (you may have
already tried this)....

Try mounting the CD on your Linux box and searching for boot.img or *.img by
using the following command:

find [mount-point] -name '*.img' -print

If you are lucky, Sun creates boot and rescue images just like Linux does.
If not, I have no idea what to do.  I'm assuming that you're lucky, so you
position yourself in the directory you found boot.img and you type the
following command:

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

This should create your boot disk.  Hmmm.....documentation, that is a
different story completely.  Maybe someone else knows where to find that....
