Brand new guy to solaris, two questions: 1. After install the solaris 8, the monitor is in low resolution, how can I change the video card or resolution? 2. The solaris can not support boot from CD after power on, I need to enter into boot mode and then type in boot cdrom, I have one system form a bad guy without giving me password, how can can i let the system boot from cdrom? Thx!

Booting from CD-ROM: At OK prompt, simply type OK: boot cdrom It will boot from CD-ROM, rest upon reboot, again it will boot from disk. If to make it boot permanently boot from CD-ROM, then change the option of OpenBoot PROM... OK: setenv boot-device disk (default HDD) OK: setenv boot-device cdrom (from cdrom) OK: setenv boot-device a: (floppy drive) OK: setenv boot-device net (network) if you face any problems you can change it, also you can specify multiple modes... OK: setenv boot-device disk a: net About disabling security password: OK: setenv security-mode=none You can also use these options from the Solaris OS Command prompt '#' by issuing command: #eeprom boot-device=disk #eeprom security-mode=none . . . Now about changing the Video Resolution: #m64config (lists help information) #m64config -propt (displays current video settings) #m64config -prconf (displays video configurations that can be adjusted with your adapter/monitor) Follow procedute like this: NOTE: MAKE SURE OF YOUR RESOLUTION AND DEPTHS ITS JUST AN EXAMPLE, REFER YOUR MACHINE... #m64config -res 1152x900 -now #m64config -depth 24 WARNING! MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS 'NOT' INSIDE THE X-WINDOWS (CDE) LOGIN. LOGOUT AND FROM DTGREET SCREEN, GOTO 'Command line prompt' AND THEN LOGIN UNDER CONSOLE TERMINAL AND THEN ISSUE THESE COMMANDS. ELSE, IT MAY CEASE YOUR X-WINDOWS. REST UPON YOUR SHOULDERS...
