Just not all computers do it.

Yes, but that doesn't mean I didn't miss something. I can do that but if what
the other person on this group says is true -- that OpenIndiana doesn't
support CD/DVD drives and therefore can't boot from one (and I've had
computers from as far back as 1998 that support the feature), it's not going
to be the OS for me.

My only real complaint through all this is that I should have received some
error message of some kind so I could know why it wouldn't boot. The only
thing I saw was a flash of text at the beginning of the boot that said
something like "ttya-d not available".

Thanks,
