NEC CDR-260/CDR-260R/CDR-273, AZT CDR 268-031SE, Media Vision 6X, and
Sony CDU-55E ATAPI CD-ROM drives may fail during installation.
Some systems may have problems booting from IDE drives that are larger than
512 Mbytes, even though the install to the drive succeeds. Disable logical block
addressing, and reduce the CMOS geometry information for the drive to be less
than 1024 cylinders.
The Compaq Professional Workstation 5000 includes a Compaq/Sanyo
CRD-168PCH ATAPI CD-ROM drive that is not recognized by the Solaris software
when you first turn the machine on.
To work around this problem, before you attempt to install the Solaris software,
turn the machine on and press Control-Alt-Delete to reboot.
