Yep, it's detecting that the hard drives aren't formatted.

No clue why it's doing that when you're booting off the CD though... I didn't think it checked. Hmmm.

I do recall going through this (or something similar) when the HD in my Blade 150 failed and I swapped in a new one. I just formatted the drive, then I was fine. Not sure HOW I formatted it though. Never bothered to write it down, it seemed obvious at the time :-(

boot cdrom will try and start the installer - not sure what happens if no valid disk label.

Could first try boot cdrom -s to just get a single user shell, and then run format just to create the disk labels.

If manually running format successfully labels the disks, then try running the installer (which should give the option of how to partition the disks).

You could always boot up into singleuser from a jumpstart image or cd-rom, ( "boot cdrom -s" on a SPARC") and run the 'format' utility from the # prompt once its booted.If the disks don't have a proper sun label, format should give you the opportunity to label them. .7/M.
