DVD-ROM/CD-ROM Drives on Headless Systems
Power management of interactive devices such as removable media is linked with power
management of your monitor and the graphics card that drives your monitor. If your screen is
active, devices such as the CD-ROM drive and diskette remain at full-power mode. These
devices might switch to low-power mode on a system without a monitor. To restore power to
the CD or diskette, type volcheck to obtain the latest status from each removable device.
Alternatively, you can disable power management on your system by using the Dtpower GUI.
By disabling power management, these devices are constantly at full power.
x86: Manual Conguration Required to Specify
Non-US English Keyboards
By default, the kdmconfig program species Generic US-English(104-Key) as the keyboard type
that is connected to the system. If the system's keyboard is not a US-English keyboard, you must
manually specify the keyboard type during installation. Otherwise, installation continues by
using the default keyboard specication that is inconsistent with the system's actual keyboard
type.
Workaround 1: If the system's keyboard is not a US-English keyboard, perform the following
steps during installation:
1. When the Proposed Window System Conguration For Installation is displayed, press Esc.
Note – The information on the Proposed Window System Conguration For Installation,
which includes the keyboard type, is displayed only for 30 seconds. If you want to change
conguration settings, you must press Esc before the 30 seconds lapse. Otherwise, the
installation continues by using the displayed settings.
2. Change the keyboard type to the type that corresponds to your system's keyboard.
3. Press Enter to accept the changes and continue with the installation.
Workaround 2: If you want to change the keyboard type in a system that is already running
Solaris 10 OS, use the kdmconfig program. Choose the option that applies to the type of X
server your system is running.

If your system is running the Xsun server, follow these steps:
