After I had select 1. Solaris Interactive, for the type of installation I wanted, the boot would bomb during the Boot Kernel/Unix section. The pc would just reboot. I was able to see the following error: Booting Kernel/Unix Then... "skipping system dump, no dump device configured". "rebooting" Many, many, many, thanks to all who replied to my question, a lot of very useful information for Solaris on Intel. A special thanks to Chris Green, who actually has several Dell pc's of varying models running Solaris. His company can actually be considered a test-bed for Solaris on Intel equipment. The solution was to change from a DELL Optiplex GX 115 to an Optiplex GX 110. I did have to swap the video card to an ATI rage64. By the way the onboard nic card works just fine. When doing the installation I booted from the software CD number 1. The install is not that much different from an install on a sparc workstation.
