Hi,

I work for Soalris Cluster QA team and I am working on b111a 
installation on notebooks.
As I am seeing errors at the very beginning of the process:

WARNING: iwk_int():Radio transmitter is off
WARNING: iwk_m_start(): failed to initialize hardware
WARNING: iwk_int():Radio transmitter is off
WARNING: iwk_m_start(): failed to initialize hardware

And tried to boot in verbose mode with kernel debugger enabled by adding 
-kdv to kernel parameters via GRUB.
Then only seeing the boot (via x86 installation DVD) drops to kmdb.

Is it expected?
If not, how to find a way to collect info from screen ......?

Thanks,
Jingci
