bootable X86 dvd and flash archives
I have created a bootable DVD for X86 using a flash archive, the problem is that I have to specify the location at the beginning of the install.
I have edited the any_machine profile under ./jumpstart_sample to contain the following
install_type flash_install
archive_location local_file /cdrom/Solaris_10/Product/test_sol10.archive
partitioning default
package SUNWaudmo add
filesys any 40 swap
filesys any 50 /opt
but this now just hangs at the install and no prompt
Any advice????
