Default Solaris installation - Not a UFS file system

I downloaded Solaris 10 dvd iso image, burned it to a blank dvd but when I try to boot it and start installation, i get message: Not a UFS file system.

What might be the cause, and how to resolve it? Please, just don't tell me: Burn it on the lower speed!

Thanks in advance!

Ok, since nobody was willing to help, I had to dig it myself!

The problem was that ISO image I downloaded (via torrent) was probably corrupted. I redownloaded it, now from official Sun/Oracle site, downloaded md5 checksum files (which I didn't get when downloaded with torrent), burned image on a blank dvd and voila - Virutal PC successfully booted Solaris 10!

So, my recommendation to everyone experiencing similar problem - download iso from official Solaris website, avoid torrents! That's it... I posted response to my own question, cause it will probably be useful to someone else!

Cheers!
Kemal
