Hi ,
Thanks to all who replied.
my original questio was - how can i install solaris 2.5.1 on an Axi -440
with an Ultra440 cpu using
a jump start instalation .
the problem - in order for you to use sol2.5.1 a kernel patch is needed or
else the box will get stuck right after the hme is loaded at boot time.
Solutions - none were given .
Insights - 1. use an external preinstalled disk and install using it.
             2. use the solaris special cdrom provided for that matter.

a solution i have came accross and workes best is to reduce the cpu speed
using nvram and than change it after install.
here is how

Regards and thanks once again .....
