2.

Boot the computer with the "-r" (reconfiguration) option.
To do this on a typical SPARC desktop/server, perform
the following steps:

Power ON the computer.

Wait until you see boot messages displaying on the
screen, then press and hold the Stop (L1) key, and
then press the "A" key.

At the "ok" prompt, type "boot –r" followed by the
<Enter> key.

After the system has booted, log in as root.


4.

Insert the CD-ROM labeled "GFX 400 Series Driver
Software-Solaris Edition" into the CD-ROM drive.


5.

If /cdrom/cdrom0 exists, type:

prompt#

cd /cdrom/cdrom0


Skip to step 6. Otherwise, mount the CD-ROM by typing
the following:

prompt# mount -F hsfs -O -o ro \
/dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom


prompt# cd /cdrom


6.

The CD-ROM contains an install_all script. To
install the software, type:

prompt# ./install_all

This script will ask you a number of yes-or-no questions
(generated by Sun's pkgadd install script). Answer
these questions appropriately.

Reboot the system to complete the installation.
