Hi,
I tried to install opensolaris on a Sun Blade 100, as I tried to boot
from cdrom the following errormessage appeared:
bad magic number in cd label
these are the things I have already tried:
- burn original iso with nero on a windows pc
- copy data of cd to hd and rename the cd label
- burn bootable cd with nero
- burn with a mac
- replaced the cdrom
- burn with alcohol120
is there anything else I can do???
Many thanks
Marcel

You must write the iso file as an *image*, and not try to put the file
as a piece of data on a CD. The iso image will be bootable - it is not
something you should try to set in your software. The fact you are
burned it as a bootable cd indicates to me that you have done it
incorrectly, as you cant do that with an iso image.
I don't know your software type, but it should have some sort of
faciltiy to burn an image, and one option will be a file ending in .iso.
Hi,
thanks for your answer. But we brunes it as image and it didnīt worked...
best regards,

Did you test the integrity of your downloaded image?
[duhring@einstein ~]$ md5sum os200805.iso

I just noticed something in your original post:
"I tried to install opensolaris on a Sun Blade 100"
That is an UltraSPARC machine and the image is for x86_64 architecture.
Install it on the machine you used to post your article and get rid of
that nasty windows.
