After the initial device probes are launched and the system gives you
the option to boot-off different devices for installing 2.4 x86, the
system recognizes both the CD ROM and the hard drive on the IBM
thinkpad, which according to SUN is a supported and tested platform for
the 2.4 x86. After I select CD for installing the OS, nothing apparent
happens for a minute or so, i.e the CD ROM light does not light up, the
boot from the CD does not take place and the system is kicked backed to
the devices booting menu. I have dowloaded the three new disks with the
pathes and the new drivers etc. however I still can't boot off the CD.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
