Unhappy Solaris Installation - System Keeps Rebooting


hello!

i am having probs installing Solaris 8 in systems similar with the
following configuration:

Celeron 1.7GHz - 256MB RAM - Shared 32MB - 40GB HDD

it comes uptill I have to select the Booting option screen
one where it tells you to press:

"Retrun" - "b" - "i"

at this stage when I press "Return" it shows 2 lines that Solaris
Installation is begining and then the System Reboots.

but I installed Solaris in a lower conf system with
Celeron 333MHz - 64MB RAM - 4MB AGP - 4GB HDD.

I first tought that built-in AGP might cause probs. so I used Seperate
AGP cards in those systems. the result is the same.

Can any one PLS tell me what is going on ?

I installed Solaris earlier in other systems but these are acting
so peculiarly.....

best rergads...........
