I'm installing 7.0-RELEASE on a Sun Sunfire v100 server. I was able to
boot the cd, and install through cd one. There is no framebuffer on the
v100 (vt100 serial console interface only) so the install would not
proceed past the first disk. I want to use this system as a nameserver
and was able to download Bind 9.3.5-P2, compile, and run. My questions
are:
 
1) Can I manually complete the install process for items on CDs 2&3?
 
2) In the /var/log/messages I see:

What is causing these cd errors?
 
Thanks for your assistance!
