You need to invoke kmdb at boot and patch the system...
Select the appropriate grub entry and type 'e' to edit it. Select the kernel line and type 'e' to edit it. Append -kd to cause kmdb to load and take control and hit return. Type 'b' to boot. kmdb will take over control when it loads. Issue the command "cmi_no_init/W1" to kmdb to patch cmi_no_init to a 1. Issue the command ":c" to kmdb to continue running Solaris.
You should now be able to install the system.
You will need to do the same again to boot the installed system for the first time.
When it's booted, add the following line to /etc/system:
set cpu\.generic:gcpu_legacy_cpu_support=1
and recreate the boot archive (not sure if necessary, but harmless):
bootadm update-archive -f
It should work OK then on.

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.

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. . . .

Yes I burn it as ISO file but I do not know why this error appears even the results of dir command is below :
G:\>dir Volume in drive G is SOL_10_508_X86 Volume Serial Number is A3BE-34A5

I think you get this error if the hidden file(s) are missing from the top directory of the DVD. My guess is you have mounted it under Windows and copied the files Windows can see to the DVD, and that won't work. You need to make a raw image copy of the download file. Sorry, I don't know how you do this under Windows.

You shouldn't have two DVDs, just one. If you downloaded the DVD in two parts, you have to concatenate them into one ISO before burning it. In Windows, this works:
Nero works too. You use the `create DVD from image' function. You have to tell it to display ISO types before you will see the file.

Nero can do it. You just need to use the "Burn Image to Disk" option under the "Copy and Backup" heading. It expects a .iso file -- if you downloaded a zipped copy you might need to unzip first, but nothing more -- you feed Nero a single file .iso file that contains everything.

I don't think the issue is your DVD writer. I'm facing the same problem ("Error : The disk you inserted is not Solaris Operating system CD/DVD") installing on a Dell Optiplex 755 with the original DVD media (x86) provided by Sun. I just found this thread while investigating the issue.
I had a similar issue some time ago trying to install from the original DVD (SPARC) on a Sun Enterprise T5220. The solution was to download the ISO images for the CD install (instead of DVD) and install from them.

> Regards,
" downloaded the DVD in two parts, you have to concatenate them into one ISO before burning it" That is very strnge becuase Solaris 10 in DVD is one DVD not two .
Any way I tried to download the 5 files for Installing u5 of solaris 10 on PIII. I tried the GRUB command kmdb instead of cdrom but with installing from CDs the PC totally hang up after issuing the GRUB kmdb. Is kmdb command related with installing from DVD ?
Should I gather them with copy /b and copy the ISO file generated to DVD ???
