Hi,guys,

I am new to solaris8-x86.Until now I have spent 6 days to install s8-x86 on my pc but without success once.

Below is my pc hardware:
Motherboard-qdi;chipset-Via apollo pro;cpu:p-II 400;video chip:S3 trio 64v2 dx/gx 8472;10G seagate HD;Samsung cd-rom 40X.

In order to keep compatabality,I removed all other card--AGP video,D-link lan card.

Following is my problem: I do the installation on a clean HD.The installation can be started correctly and I select auto reboot.But just after message "installation completed" two error messages show as: err:can't open /a/etc/vfstab
err:can't create /etc/vfstab
Then the machine make no progress(no auto reboot),but there appears a prompt #.When type in 'reboot',the system can boot from HD,but into DCA screen.

I had tried for N times but the just same error appeared N times.How to deal with this?????? I need you helpppp! Thanks to all of you in advance.
