Hi fellas,
I finished to install the solaris 10, but he doesnt start. When i was installing, appeared one warning message saying that i needed to install a software in the boot area, but which software?
Note: i hav a Linux one of my partitions, and he is fine, even after the solaris installation.
When you install Solaris, if you already have a Solaris parition on the disk you want to install, Solaris won't ask you to install the boot partition.
However, if you install Solaris freshly from free space, or FAT32, or NTFS, or ext2 or ext3 or whatever non-Solaris partition, it will install the boot partition called x86 boot. In fact, you should see this when you specify the Solaris partition before coming to the GUI part of configuration and installation.
Either you didn't catch that or you somehow installed without the x86 boot, so that might be the problem.
The only way I know of is try the whole installation process again, and carefully check for the x86 boot partition to be chosen (besides the root partition).
-van.
