Hello all,
After lots of e-mail that I received from you and haven't tried any
solution yet, I see the need to give some more info:

Additional information:
The disk (at least in BIOS) shows to have 1027 cyl and to be 8.4GB, I am
using half of the disk for Solaris
(about 600 cyl). I have only two partitions / and swap, / partition is
about 5GB. Thomas Bastin suggested
that the / partition should be less than 2GB.
I am using configuration assistant 1.3 and as I mentioned, installation
goes very well.
Michael Hocke suggested to install driver update 3, but the system will
not reboot, how can I install IDE
upgrade? Maybe before the first reboot?
Thank you, and I will update my summary.
-Vahid.
