Dell Dimension 8200 and Solaris 10

I want to run Solaris 10 on my Dell. Problem is, I cant get it to boot. Ive burned the files to a DVD and the drive is working. But it just doesnt boot. Ive tried every GRUB Floppy disk, but nothing allows me to boot from DVD because i get the "Cannot Mount Selected Partition" when i try and run my DVD out of grub. Anything that Im doing wrong, or is there some program that will help me that im missing?

Any help is greatly appreiciated. Thanks.

Ok well now I can get into the installation and start configuring. But it keeps looking to the CDROM because of "install_media=cdrom" But i got the files now on my second hard drive.

Is there a string i can put there that will tell it to look at the hard drive.

Ive tried (hd0,0) and everything like that.

Thanks for the help.
