It could be that once booted, it didn't find the dvd drive again.

Setup: Server and Desktop ISO, attempting to boot an HP xw8600
A 2x Xeon (5470) with 32 GB ram and 2 1tb hdd.
I've attempted booting an HP xw8600 from both server and desktop
(freshly downloaded and burned) isos.
In either case I come to one of those offers to drop me into maintenance
mode and requests uid and passwd, or press Control + d.
Pressing the `Control + d' option results in this message:
Requesting System maintenance mode
(see /lib/svc/share/README for more information)
Console login service[s] cannot run
And back comes the offer to enter a uid and passwd or press Control + d
for maintenance mode.
Using the stock uid - passwd, root - openindiana, gets me into
maintenance mode with these messages:
July 20 00:46:40 su, `su root' succeeded for root on /dev/console
-bash /usr/sbin/quota - no such file or directory
openindiana (powered by illumos) SunOS 5.11 oi 151_a8 July 2013
-bash /bin/mail - no such file or directory
-bash /usr/bin/hostname - no such file or directory
root #
If I run `ls -al' I see a listing of /root (.bashrc and .profile)
followed by
/usr/bin/hostname - no such file or directory...
Other basic commands seem to work, such as pwd etc.
But trying something like `format' fails miserably with:
-bash - format command not found.
-bash - /usr/bin/hostname - no such file or directory.
Where is the `format' command usually hiding. /bin/, /usr/bin, /sbin,
/usr/sbin, all seem to be present and accounted for... but no `format'.
`format' is present at /usr/sbin/format on an oi vm I have running, but
apparently is not included on this `Live CD' ISO.
Is there something I can do here to help the boot. Or, is it likely to be
something else causing the trouble?
PS - both ISO's work fine when tried on another host and installing
into a vm. So at least any thoughts of corruption or the like should
be laid to rest.
