Thanks to everyone who replied. 

After starting all over I tried again to do a boot cdrom from the 4/01
Version of Solaris 8, I was able to do a re-install. It looks like the patch
from SUN for the AC200's and SUN Blades does not work and the pre-install of
the OS on the brand spankin' box was corrupted. I just wonder what the beta
version of Solaris 9 will be like.
