Yes i used that one as well and had a lot of problems took me a week to figure it all out and mix and matching documents

ok I will show you my set up

Rules file:
Code:
# NAMED Primary Servers

#
# Server 1
hostname Server1 \
	- \
	profiles/profile.server1 \
	finish/cleanup.server

now you can use hostname, IP address, Model, Netowork.
I use hostname since it is in the host file.

Profile file:
Code:
#
# ICS Server profile
#
install_type	flash_install
archive_location local_file /cdrom/Solaris_10/Product/Server1.flash
partitioning	explicit
#
# Specify partitions
#
filesys	rootdisk.s1	8192		swap
filesys	rootdisk.s0	8192		/		logging
filesys	rootdisk.s3	4096		/var		logging
filesys	rootdisk.s4	1024		/security1	logging
filesys	rootdisk.s5	1024		/security2	logging
filesys	rootdisk.s7	free		/home		logging

SYSIDCFG
Code:
#
# Solaris sol10_u10 sysidcfg file
#
network_interface=PRIMARY	{netmask=255.255.255.0
				default_route=xxx.xxx.xxx.1
				protocol_ipv6=no}
Name_service=NONE
security_policy=NONE
system_locale=C
terminal=vt100
timezone=Zulu
root_password=Q85Cxx9853
timeserver=localhost

then once all my files are correct i run ./check and this will check the rules file and create a rules.ok. once that is done then you should be ready. this is what i did before i burnt my dvd and it works. but you have to make sure your rules and profiles and sysidcfg are in the correct locations that is stated in that guide.

I eventually moved away from the dvd because i can accomplish more with a jumpstart server and kick off and entire site from my station and never have to leave. and it is easier to create a new flash than it is to create a new DVD flash.
