I tried and it works. What can I do about the message "unable to
configure network interface" . I typed exit and continued without Java
but I faced a message of "Disk error : this is not Solaris CD/DVD"
Though the DVD is well downloaded and burn it to the DVD.

Ignore it. That just means it couldn't automatically configure
the interface from a jumpstart server (which you probably don't
have). You get to manually configure it later.

Can you post some console lines preceding and including the
error. I can't tell where you've got to from what you've said.

I type append -kd instead of cdrom in GRUB kernel then I am find those
prompts :
-Loading
Welcome kmdb...
[0]>cmi_no_init/W1
cmi_no_init : 0 = 0x1
[0]>:c

Solaris installation and version
Notice : Kernel debug present disabling console power management

configuring devices
\
Error : unable to configure network interface
exiting to shell
#exit
nfs mount nfs file system use [host:]path
using RPL boot parameters host network configuration
Then I go to installation steps till the checkbox of Manually or
automatic rebooting then I had that error :

Warnning :
Error : The disk you inserted is not Solaris Operating system CD/DVD
>pressing F2
There were problems loading the media from /cdrom

Though I I copied the ISO file using Nero to 2 DVD both of them are re-
writeable ?
Do you

I wrote the ISO file sol-10-u5-ga-x86-dvd.iso to a new DVD-rom with
the previous problem :

The ISO file that you downloaded must be burned to the disk as an
"image". IOW the iso file IS the entire contents and file structure of
a CD/DVD. If you burn it as a file, the resulting CD/DVD will not be
bootable. I'm not familiar with Nero so I can't help you with it but
check out the menu choices. . . .
