[ug-bosug] open solaris not booting up

Hi Arvind,

   Any error messages or details of console messages will greatly help. 
Are you seeing the
GRUB boot screen ? Are you seeing the SunOS messages after you select a 
GRUB entry ?
Have you tried booting via both the GRUB entries - 32 bit and 32 bit 
Non-ACPI ?

Several CDs distributed in Foss.in turned out to be bad giving weird 
problems. Can you
try downloading the ISO image and burning it. Or else you can show up at 
a BOSUG meet
(if you are in Bangalore) and get another copy.

Regards,
Moinak.
