Instead of using the RAID 0 setting in the motherboard's BIOS, I opted to utilize all four IDE channels separately so there would be no chance of master/slave contention. The hard drive, DVD, and CDRW drives were each masters on their own IDE controllers. The machine was set to boot from the primary (hard drive) or secondary (DVD drive) device.
The one bit of hardware I wished for in this machine was a PCI PC Weasel card. I could have plugged the x86 hardware into the serial terminal server with all of my SPARC hardware and avoided sitting in the machine room while I performed the interactive install. If this had been something other than a one-off test install, I would have set up an x86 jumpstart image on my SPARC jumpstart server. Using jumpstart and/or a flash image also would have automated much of the work I ended up doing at the console. As it was, the x86 interactive install was fairly straightforward and looked similar to its SPARC counterpart.
Booting and Selecting the Language
The first step was to boot off of the CDROM and pick my language and locale:
I inserted the Software 1 of 2 CD into the DVD drive and powered on the system.
The system scanned for attached devices, and I hit F2 to accept the devices it found.
The next screen prompted me to choose the device to boot from. I selected the second device, the CDROM, and hit F2 to continue.
I then chose the type of installation, the first choice, Solaris OS interactive installation.
I selected choice 0, English, as my language.
I selected choice 0, English (C - 7-bit ASCII) as my locale.
I was then presented with the Solaris OS installation splash screen and hit F2 to continue to the next step.
