powerup. Computer ignores DVD drive (NEC4550) and continues to boot
grub from hard disk (BIOS is setup correctly).
Is there a boot floppy that would make sure Solaris 10 install would
start?

Obviously, your problem is that you are not running Linux, and are not
installing Linux.

(Note the name of the newsgroup: comp.os.LINUX.setup)

Perhaps you burnt the cd incorrectly - for this, you need to ask in a
newsgroup that discusses Microsoft Windows software, not
comp.os.LINUX.setup

OTOH, perhaps Solaris wont work on your computer - you need to ask in
a newsgroup that discusses the Solaris operating system, not
comp.os.LINUX.setup

Sorry

but but.. Solaris is Unix, and Linux is very similar to Unix, latest

But, Solaris is not Linux, and problems with Solaris have nothing to
do with Linux.

Solaris version uses GRUB which is probably the cause of my problem,

If so, then the only way you are going to find out is by asking
someone who know Solaris. Here, we discuss Linux, not Solaris. You
need to find a group who discuss Solaris.

and very likely many ppl here are using GRUB, too.

Yes, and probably many people here also drive Saturn cars. But that
doesn't mean that disucussions on service and repair of Saturn
automobiles is appropriate in comp.os.LINUX.setup

I have burned DVD correctly. its not a windows problem and I got
Debian installed too BTW.

Good. That means that your problem likely isn't with Windows or Linux.
So that only leaves Solaris.

Again, you need to find a group that discusses Solaris, not Linux
