Well, that one I don't expect to go hand's off (no - install).

You don't? Uhm. Well, when I do that, I get the installation program.


Also with "-v", there's no mentioning of the rules file:

{0} ok boot net -v - install

The -v doesn't help

Yep, figured that out myself as well :)

(it just shows more messages during the kernel's
module load phase. That's over long before the installer begins). But
with the - install on the end I'm guessing this should work.

No.

Can you
confirm the same thing happens with "boot net - install"?

Confirmed.

Search complete.
Discovering additional network configuration...

And it should look for rules.ok right here.

/Should/ :)

If "boot net - install"
doesn't work, then I'm wondering if the installer is bombing out on
something due to the German locale... Can you try the installation using
the "C" locale?

Will do so. I used Argos sysidcfg file from <news:482d1c95$0$189$bb624dac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
after having changed root password.

Any changes in behavior?

Stuff's displayed in English :) But I guess that's not what you
wanted to know, is it?

Seriously, no, no change in behaviour; still the normal installer
comes up.

Can you bring up a separate window while it asks you a question?

How? I'm connected over the RSC.

The first "question" it asks, is:

Solaris-Installationsprogramm

Das Solaris-Installationsprogramm ist in mehrere kurze Abschnitte
unterteilt, in denen Sie Angaben f�r die Installation machen m�ssen. Am
Ende jedes Abschnitts k�nnen Sie die vorgenommenen Auswahlen �ndern, bevor
Sie fortfahren.

�ber Navigation...
- Die Maus kann nicht verwendet werden
- - Wenn Ihre Tastatur keine Funktionstasten hat oder diese nicht
reagieren, dr�cken Sie auf ESC; die Legende unten im Bildschirm
�ndert sich und zeigt die ESC-Tasten f�r die Navigation.











F2_Weiter F6_Hilfe

You know, the first screen. Where it tells you that the mouse
can't be used and that you have to hit F2 or use <ESC> combinations.

Could you, or anyone else, please be so kind and provide a working
example of how to setup a custom jumpstart server? I DID read the
documentation, but it seems like I was not able to "compile" that
into a working configuration.

Hostname: sys02
Domain: unx
IP of system: 10.0.1.22
MAC of system: 00:03:ba:12:d3:04
subnet mask: 255.255.248.0
default router: 10.0.0.250
install server: sys01.unx
IP of server: 10.0.1.21

Paths:

 -p sys01.unx:/data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/jumpstart/sysidcfg/sys02
 -c sys01.unx:/data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/jumpstart/jumpstart

Thanks a lot,

Michael
