Solution Type Problem Resolution Sure Solution 1007666.1 : Sun Fire[TM] Servers/Solaris[TM] Operating System: CD-ROM Boot Attempt Fails With Error: "Cannot Assemble Drivers for Root"
PreviouslyPublishedAs 210616 Symptoms When attempting to boot from a CD-ROM to install the Solaris[TM] Operating System (Solaris OS) on a new system, that system encounters an error and fails to boot.
