Solaris 8 DVD - Problem trying to load Flash Archive DVD

Hi folks,
I have burnt a Solaris8 FlashArchive onto a DVD and am trying
to build a clone system with it.

I an running Webstart (booting from the Solaris8 OE DVD), but when
I get to the part where you specify the media, I cannot eject the
Solaris8 DVD.

When presented with the menu for secpifying the media,
I choose option 1 i.e. CD/DVD
As soon as I choose this option it starts the installation from the
already loaded DVD. I tried ejecting the DVD prior to selecting option
1 but as expected the DVD is busy and cannot be unmounted.

There is a workaround. If I boot from the Solaris 8 installation CD
instead, then I can load the DVD after selecting Option 1.

So does anyone know how to do this with the Solaris 8 Operating Environment
DVD ?

Thanks again.
Paul
