How to Run Solaris Web Start
You can use Solaris Web Start to install the Solaris software on a new system or over
a previously installed system. You can’t use Solaris Web Start to upgrade a system
from a previous version of the Solaris software.
Caution - Installing Solaris over a previous installation wipes out all the software
and data that was previously stored on the system disk. Depending on the size of
the system disk and on what software you choose to install, Solaris Web Start may
also wipe out existing data on other disks.
1. Insert the Solaris CD into the system’s CD-ROM drive.
2. Insert the Solaris Device Configuration Assistant diskette into the system’s
boot diskette drive (usually the a: drive).
3. If the system is off, turn it on. If the system is on, reboot it.
The Device Configuration Assistant program runs to identify the system’s devices.
4. Boot from the system’s CD-ROM drive (CD) or from an install server on the
network (NET).
Boot Solaris
Select one of the identified devices to boot Solaris.
