Hello,
I am new to OpenSolaris and need some help.
I downloaded the live cd os200805.iso and burned it on a CD. I am trying to install OpenSolaris on Dell sc420 which should be supported.
I have two disks on the system one with Windows and the other is unpartitioned which I want to install OpenSolaris on it. When I insert the CD and boot the system I see GRUB gui, I select OpenSolaris 2008.05, after few seconds it goes to console mode and after loading some text on the screen it says:
Done mounting live image, asking to select keyboard layout and desktop language, reading ZFS config done, asking for username and password which I enter jack/jack
then command line displays:
jack at opensolaris:~$
And I don't know how to continue...
What went wrong in the installation and what should I do to install OpenSolaris on my system using graphical mode?
