2005-08-08 Thread Bob Ababurko
hello- I am trying to load 3.5 sparc64 on an Ultra2. After booting from the CD I get an error message that says( i think) it cannot find the cd-drive or file on the CD. That makes little sense since I see it start to boot the CD. Is this a bad burn? I know the disc worksused it many t
