Fail to install 5.3 on Netra t1

Sat Sep 18 18:48:16 PDT 2004

hi,

i changed the eeprom and it work, but there is another problem, it prompted
"Write failure on transfer!" during installation.
since this disk install solaris before, i guess it maybe the master boot
record problem.  on IDE disk, i use a WIN98 to fix it, but Netra have CDROM
only, how to fix it?   Thanks.
