Re: Jumpstart Install Hang

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out. I am setting up a
jumpstart environment for the first time and my test install is hanging.
Below is what happens when I perform a jumpstart install on a test machine:

[Begin Output]
ok boot net - install
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@1,1 File and args: - install

[End Output]

It never proceeds beyond this point. Does anybody know what it is
specifically looking for at this point? I have spent a good amount of time
searching the internet for solutions but haven't found much. Any help at
all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey,

sure you have the correct paths in /etc/bootparams?
Sure you have the correct paths and files in rules?
