Hi to all I have a sun Ultra 10 workstation with the following configuration SUN ULTRA-10 Workstation 440 Mhz CPU 1024 MB RAM 40 GB HDD Seagate (Connected as Primary master) Floppy drive Samsung DVD Writer (connected as Secondary master) CABINET SMPS Sun keyboard and mouse probe-ide lists the drives connected properly I inserted the solaris 10 installation DVD and at the OK prompt I issued the command boot cdrom It reads the DVD, shows some messages on screen, Then the whole screen starts scrolling with junk characters just like a crash dump the system reboots and I get these error messages - "Bad magic number in disk label" "Cannot open disk label package" "Boot Device: net file and args" "Timeout for Arp/Rarp packets" I have downloade the ISO image from Sun's ftp server almsot 9 times, burnt it at various speeds including the slowest and the fastest, it still gives these errors. I went to a nearby Sun authorised training center and tried the DVD there and it worked, I even took their DVD and also bought a DVD set from Sun online, even these do not work. Any guesses what is the issue???? I am sure the DVDs are fine as they work on other Solaris machines of the same configuration.

For some reason I think I saw that answer somewhere. Don't know if it was update openbios or some issue with the drive. If I see it I'll post it. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

The msg seems to imply the cdrom is not bootable. It however could be a hardware related problem. Check out the cables to the cdrom. A bad cable could be causing the issues. Look if you can see the disk/cdrom with probe-scsi or probe-ide. How is that DVD writer connected? You might be having issues depending on the connection? Have you tried another drive or connection?
