Installing Solaris 8 via Network
|
|
|
| hello: i'm new to Solaris. i just bought an Ultra 60, Elite 3D, but it doesn't have a video card. i need to install Solaris 8 on this system, but don't know how to do it via the network.
i understand that there's a way to install solaris 8 by connecting through the network. i have two ultra 10 systems that i just installed.
i appreciate if anyone can help me install a fresh copy of solaris 8 on my Ultra 60 machine via the network or if you know a better way, let me know as well.
fyi. i don't have the root password for the Ultra 60 and i don't even know what ip address(es) are on this machine. telnet obviously does not work in this situation. | |

| Please use Windows Hyper Terminal.
Connect your PC's serial port to Ultra 60's serial port.
Then you can boot from cdrom and install Solaris 9 through Hyper Terminal. |
