V20z or Sun Fire V40z server.

You may change the video resolution of the installer by pressing the F2 key
on the keyboard during the boot menu screen, and by using the up and down
arrows on the keyboard to select the appropriate resolution.

The installer will probe the server in order to obtain the recommended settings after
this selection.

select New Installation, then OK.
A recommended configuration is displayed in the Installation Setting screen.
6. If the displayed configuration is acceptable for your environment, select Accept.
Otherwise, select the component you wish to change and make the appropriate
changes.
For most users, the default settings will be appropriate. Refer to the SUSE Linux
Professional 9.0 Installation Guide for more details about changing individual

The installer will install the base system first. This will take about 5 to 10 minutes.

the drive, insert the requested CD and press OK.
After successful installation of the base system, the system will reboot.
