Quesion:

Normaly, to do a fresh install of solaris OS, we need to go to ok prompt on
> a graphical monitor :
>
> ok boot cdrom
>
> thereafter install OS through openwin ....

Solution:

try "boot cdrom - w " under ok prompt.

or

boot cdrom -s

brings it up in single user mode.

then run

/sbin/suninstall

This is a text install program. It is what you get when you do a serial
console install but it works great on a regular console.

PS, This is so much faster to use that we only use this method to do
installs.

Thanks to everyone who response to me.
