Solaris 10 x86 CD install - stops after cd1

Experienced linux user.

Recent new second hard drive means I can install Solaris.

Downloaded and burnt CDs (5)

CD1 boots. Used text based installer. Installed to 2nd partition on primary IDE slave drive. Grub to MBR on this drive then plan to either boot changing BIOS boot or chain load from Lilo on master hd MBR.

CD1 install set-up fine(I think I answered right)starts to install software - after approx 15-20%. Stops. Tells me CD1 installation complete and reboots.

However -reboots succesfully to GRUB but no menu or unable to boot kernel using GRUB root and kernel commends.

CD2 never requested.

Any help would be appreciated.

OK -no replys

Have now sorted myself by using DVD download and installing on first patition of second hd. Still need to change boot disk in bios to boot so trying to work round this.

Solaris seems very good.

Will now try to get speedtouch 330 usb modem working so I ca connect to net.

Did you get your Speedtouch 330 working? I wish to do the same now.
