Hey all. I've browsed through the forum but cannot really find an answer to my problem.

I'm trying to install Solaris 9 on and AMD +1600 processor. I'm running 3 hard drives, 2 40 giggers and 1 60 gigger. I'm trying to use the 60gig drive for the Solaris installation, but no matter what CD I use, I constantly get the message that it cannot load the root filesystem. This is when trying the installation CD, and CD 1. It also happens when choosing both installation methods (interactive & jumpstart).

anyone out there have an answer? or did i waste $20? thanks for your time.

Are these CDs made from downloaded ISO images? If so did you burn them correctly? Can you boot from either the install or CD 1 ?
