Solaris 8 install

2007-12-25 9:43:00

Found the answer to this problem myself next morning.

The system had two hard disks installed. 8G as a boot

disk and 18G secondary disk. After removing the the

18G disk from the scsi chain the install went ok.

Original question follows:

Solaris 8 (x86) install dies after these lines:

...

Copying mini-root to local disk....done.

Copying platform specific files....done.

Preparing to reboot and continue installation.

Unable to mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:boot

Solaris Web Start 3.0 installer

...

and it drops to shell. After manually syncing and rebooting

the machine tries to boot the default active partition, but

dies with:

Cannot find boot.bin.

Any idea what might cause this behaviour?
