solaris 9 disk 2

[Tyson]

I am having trouble with solaris 9 installation disk 2. When asked for the
cd it complains about not being able to read the disk. I'm sure the disk is
not bad as I've made several and checked on Win2k system. The files seem to
be ok. There are no problems with the installation up until this point. It
was suggested from a previous post that I make sure the smserverd daemon is
running which I could check in the /etc/inetd.conf file. I checked and it
seems to be in order. I have not been able to find anything else dealing
with this problem yet, any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance
Tyson

Well , Maybe you are too agressive when it is time to do the cdrom
change.

When I build a new machine I do not press the button on the cd-drive
to initiate the cd-change.

when the time comes to shift cd the install program notifies you that
it wants the next one. I just click continue at this point.
The install process then realizes that the CD its got online is the
CD no.1 and then it will eject it.
Then I shift CD's and click continue ( or OK ) and the process
continues.


I seem to remember having had problems with this if I preempt
the install program and manually eject the CD and change it.
