the grub> prompt
I loaded Solaris 10 x86 on my pc and after all the loading and file copying and whatnot when it said to reboot the machine I clicked on the "Reboot Now" button, took the DVD out of the tray, and when the machine booted up all I got wasgrub>
Now what?
I have 1 GIG RAM. 200GIG HD, AMD Athlon 1.3MBps CPU.
The install was no problem but on reboot all I get is grub>
I keep trying to define the kernel, root, and module but it just comes back and says "No such partition"
Can anyone help me with the grub> prompt?

That means that grub has loaded, but is unable to read the storage properly to the point of finding the menu.lst file.
That's tough to debug since it's just supposed to work. Some issues have been resolved by modifying different BIOS settings and disabling certain hardware features. But there's no one thing that might be causing it.
What PC and storage are you using?

The PC is just an open system I put together myself. The mainboard is ASUS A7V133 with a bus speed of 133Mhz. The BIOS date is 10/3/2001. The Cpu is an AMD ATHLON 1333. I have 1 GIG of SDRAM. The HD is a 200GIG Western Digital WDC Wd2000JB-00GVA0. The video card is an AOPEN PA3000 with 32MB RAM. I have no fancy hardware - it just a basic system. All the stuff I find on the web deals with tweaking the grub menus - that is, after it is up and working. Nobody talks about how to get it to work in the first place.
