Dear SUN Managers,

it turns out that I was required to boot off Operating Environment CD dated Feb 2000 or Sep 99. I was trying with an older one dated Nov 97. Booting off OE CD Feb 2000 solved my problem.

Document ID 20576 on sunsolve.com clearly pointed me to the right direction.

Thanks a lot to all those people who tried helping me :

The original posting was :

I have a U10 440 Mhz workstation running Solaris 2.5.1 11/97. In my absence, somebody tried to re-load Solaris 2.5.1 11/97 without using the Operating Environment CD provided for that. Now what is happening is that, when we try to boot off the Operating Enviroment CD, we get the following message : 

Bad magic number in disk label 
Can't open disk label package 
Evaluating: boot cdrom 
Can't open boot device 

If we try to boot off the Solaris 2.5.1 11/97 CD directly, then it displays 50 echoes for just one letter typed. 

boot cdrom -sw 
boot -s 

both have problems. 

The part number for the Op Env CD I am using is 704-5950-10 REV A (Nov , 1997). 

Thanks,
Mira
