Hi
 
We have Cisco IDS 4235 & one book (Cisco Security Professional's
Guide to Securite Intrusion Detection) says it's running Solaris for Intel
& gave the password recovery as follows :
 
*************************** start of book extract **************************

In order to carry out the password recovery procedures, you'll need :

   
Solaris for Intel CD-ROM.

   
Solaris Device Configuration Assistant disk (boot disk). This can be downloaded from the Sun support Web site. http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/dca_diskettes/. Cisco does not maintain this diskette on the Cisco Web site and cannot guarantee the whereabouts of the information on the Sun Web site.

   
Console access to the workstation.

******************************* end of book extract ******************************

I went to the above website (the full url ends up as
https://sdlcweb2d.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet/LegalPage:~:com.sun.sunit.sdlc.content.LegalWebPageInfo;jsessionid=878C6525EC529C4B04809E8F35BF9836;jsessionid=878C6525EC529C4B04809E8F35BF9836 ) & got DCA for Solaris x86 8 1001, English (S8_1001.3.zip, 921.10 KB).
 
I then unzip this S8_1001.3.zip & downloaded dd.exe & found
that I could not burn this S8_1003.3 to my floppy (see below) :
 Directory of C:\sunrecov

C:\sunrecov>dir a:
 Volume in drive A has no label.

 Directory of A:\

What have I done wrong or is there any other way of Solaris x86
password recovery (specifically for this Cisco IDS 4235 which
I believe is actually a Dell 1u box)?
 
 
Thanks
