Installing Solaris 9 on IBM BladeCenter HS20

Hello

I am trying to install Sol 9 (x86) onto an IBM eServer BladeCenter HS20. I am using CD media but I run into a problem. When it comes to the point where you choose which device to use for the install, the CD drive does not appear, only the two disk drives. When I goto add the CD-ROM device, like the help file says, it is not there to add.

Is there a special way inwhich I have to install this? Thank for any help.

I also have had issues with the IBM blades and LINUX.

A quick search has turned up this link:

Also check the BIOS level...I saw that 1.06(BIOS) and above corrected an issue with booting "Knoppix LINUX".

Hope this helps.
