I can't get my system to boot off of the cd drive.Bios is set to boot cd first. I have the Solaris 10 dvd mailed from Sun. OR/also I downloaded Belenix and need to excute an command"CAT" to join the 2 ISO's Dave

If the Sun pressed DVD doesn't boot it is like 99% chance it is your setup. If you have two drives it might be that your system is so old it can't boot to the second cd/dvd. It might be so old so that it can't even boot a dvd. Test the Sun dvd on a newer system that is known and proven to boot from a dvd. You can't cat the two for any useful reason other than to make a large useless file to most people. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

Belenix tells me to join the 2 iso. I don't know how to run a command . Do I need an OS running first? Yes, bios seems to think it is still a cd drive. But made an XP restore floppy and system won't boot from that. "non system disk" Thanks Dave

Oh, you mean this. cat belenix_dvd.iso.1 belenix_dvd.iso.2 >> belenix_dvd.iso Don't know why they do this other than bandwidth maybe. You could use copy /b file1 + file2 file.iso in windows. Then you need a program to burn the image to a dvd. NOT the file but the image. XP will not boot another OS. If you need a floppy then see this. http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/dri... Cat is a posix command and can be found for windows but is common in linux, solaris, unix, beos, qnx and almost all command line bash and other shells. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

Got the floppy from "bigadmin" Yes that is the"CAT" Where do you use that , what screen or prompt? I tried "RUN" & cmdprompt Thanks for info so far, I've been on many sites not many people reply Dave
