> You are trying to install the 01/06 release of Solaris 10, which won't

> If you need to install Solaris 10 in a Microsoft VM, you must use the
> 03/05 release. If you do not already have it, the only way to obtain it is
> to call Sun and order Part No. SOLZ9-10AC9A7M. This is for DVD-ROM media.
> The phone number for ordering will vary based on your country and type of
> customer you are (e.g. government, corporate, individual, etc.) so check
> the Sun site for the appropriate phone number. In the U.S. it should cost
> somewhere in the neighborhood of $50-75. Do not waste your time trying to
> find 03/05 online for download. Sun does not make earlier releases
> available for download unless you originally registered during the
> timeframe that 03/05 was current.
>
> Once you get the 03/05 release, you need to create a fixed-size VHD (6GB
> recommended) before booting into the Solaris install. Expect the install
> process to take roughly 4 hours, possibly even longer depending on your
> hardware. There will be times when the install may appear to hang but be
> patient. As long as you use 03/05 and a fixed-size VHD, it will eventually
> finish.
