Hi James,

Also make sure you are using the correct CD and the correct cdrom drive. You should be using the Core OS Media CD to install the OS.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can always give the sea command (search) and it will list all the devices like p1, p2 etc

If you know the ID of the cdrom device eg. p2 the just give
bo p2

or else just give,
bo alt ( remeber the alternate boot device should be set to cdrom and not tape drive - in most of the systems the alternate boot device is a tape drive )

Then it will start installing from the CD.
