Hi I have Sun Fire V40z machine just received with Solaris 10 preinstalled on it from Sun. When tried to boot for the first time the system only boots in failsafe mode. The grub loader displays two options namely 1) Solaris 10 x86 2) Solaris failsafe
When the first option is selected the system fails to boot, however when failsafe option is selected it goes on to boot in failsafe mode.
I need to boot Solaris in normal mode.Any prompt help shall be appreciated

I suspect it is booting and your video isn't configured. See sun docs big admin on how to change the video settings. I had the written down on a piece of paper since I had to do it more than a few times but dunno where paper is not. Seems like kdmconfig but you need to do that from safe mode or console.
Are you on a console or vga ?
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.
