    I'm not having a great deal of success in installing Solaris 10. I have it on DVD, and have tried reading it from the native DVD, and from a file. Neither works. I simply get the "No boot device available message."

    Any suggestions?

    I have installed XP and the tools with no problem, but I can't seem to read the Solaris install DVD.

    Worked better with CDs instead of a DVD. Installation in progress.

    Solaris 10

    When I tried to install Solaris 10 from DVD, the VM was never able to boot up due to a "Bad PBR sig" error.

    I used the CDs, created a 256mb primary DOS partition, and used the rest as the solaris partition, and it seems to install fine. At least now it boots into CD 2.
