Boot disk.


Hello again,

What is the easiest way to create a boot disk or boot cd ?

I have two drives 1 80 gig with win xp / win me on (primary) and a 40 gig drive with solaris 10 on (secondary).

Atm I have to disconnect power to my primary drive so solaris boots up. I didn't want to change the boot loader or anything like that to make it tri boot, but I thought there must be a way of creating a boot disk, like I use to have with RH9. That way, I can just push the floppy in when I want to boot into Solaris....

Hope that makes sense if you see where im coming from

You certainly can create a Solaris 10 boot diskette (see http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817...kv4nh89?a=view)
From that diskette, you should be able to select booting from you secondary disk.
