Hi there,
I have a Enterprise 250 and I don't know how to boot it from CD/DVD. The
problem is that I can connect via 0-modem-cable and I can see what the
machine is doing, but I didn't get any boot-prompt. It boots directly
from disk (an old Solaris 5.6) but I want to install another System from
DVD. Maybe somebody can help.

Thanks, Marek
OK, I have found out (as usually as simple as can be ). I have a
connection with minicom and in minicom I need only to press STRG+a f.
After that minicom sends a BREAK and I get to the boot-prompt.
