Hi
im doing a programming assignment at uni were my code has to run on Solaris
because i prefer to work at home rather than at uni and because i get extra credit if i pull this off i have installed Solaris 10 in VMware and it was going well untill it came to getting my files from windows into Solaris.
at first i tried networking but so far i can only get Solaris to see the PCs on my network but not actualy access them so i decided an easier method would just be to transport my files across on my USB pen drive
however i cant seem to get the thing to apear in Solaris
the USB icon has apeared in VMware so i know that it is recognising it internaly and the little red light is flashing on it so it is being access in some way(it aint windows since at mo windows cant see it)
earlier today i talked to my lecturer about getting it to work and he surgested the volcheck and "Boot -r" commands
iv run "volcheck -v /dev/usb" to which it responds "/dev/usb has no media" though my lecturer warned me it might not work so i tried "Boot -r" to which it responds "Boot: not found"
as a Solaris newbie(all i usualy do is code and navigate the file system on it" i aint sure were to go from here
i realise the fact im running in VMware probably complicates things but would really aprechiate it if someone helped me get this working as i dont really wanna drag myself into uni at weekends
