[ug-bosug] Bios set up in Sun Blade 1500 Silver

[Madhu K R]

Hi Kumar,
    It is a sparc workstation not Intel or AMD. SO there is no concept 
of BIOS here.
In sparc environment we have something called OBP (Open Boot Prom). It 
is like a command prom which looks like "OK>"

So once you get into this prom, boot thru cdrom using command OK>boot cdrom

Then you should be able to install solaris.

PS: Please note that you need to have Solaris 11 Sparc version to 
install solaris on this box.

regards,
Madhu
