Solaris 10 install wont boot

| Please help me, after burning Solaris10 .iso image onto DVDR with
Alcohol120%, I can read its file structure, but it wont boot on
powerup. Computer ignores drive and continues to boot grub from hard
disk (BIOS is setup correctly).
Is there a boot floppy that would make sure Solaris 10 install would
start?

When burning an ISO images I have gone through several different
paths in the burning software before I got the image to burn as an
image. It is so easy to end up dragging *.iso into the target
directory, burning it as a data disk, then wondering why it does not
boot.

Intel, or sparc platform? If sparc, check your default boot device. If
intel, say so and someone here other than me will probably know.

OK, so we know you have a good DVD. Sounds like your boot device isn't
pointing to your cdrom drive, but it's been nearly a year since I did
Solaris in the x86 world so I'll defer on that one.
