I've been trying to install Solaris 10 on my PC for a week now, the
steps I took were:
-Download and burn Solaris 10 (x86)
-Partition drive as follows, 200MB (boot part. FAT32), 10GB (Solaris
part. tried unformated, ext 2/3, and FAT32), then my windows partition.
-Boot from CD

The problem I run into is, when the installation starts trying to copy
files to my hard drive, It reports that it can not find a hard drive.
I accidently left my USB floppy drive in once, and it started copying
files to a floppy, but it wont detect my hard drive. I've checked
/dev/dsk, and it only finds c0 (and c1 when the floppy drive was in),
I've tried the format utility, and it just reports that it could not
find any drives.

my hard drive is:
ST910021 A SCSI Disk Device

Please help!!
