Re: Problem Installing on Sparc5
Hmm, seems your CDROM is not configured for 512 bytes per sector.
Is it coming from a PC box ?
In this case you could have to change jumper settings to enable 512 b/s
instead of 2048. I know that almost Plextor units have ability to do that
(mine is a 40TSI). My Yamaha cdwriter can also do it (CDRW4260).
Regards.
