Getting NFSv4 prompt when installing bootable DVD
Hi,

I've created a bootable DVD which works fine for earlier versions of Solaris 10 (6/06) and Solaris 9.

But now i've moved to Solaris 10 8/07 and I am getting the NFSv4 prompt at login.

Initially i thought i could surpress this by adding the line

nfs4_domain=dynamic

to my sysidcfg file, but that hasn't made any difference; i still get the prompt during installation. From what i've read on various forums this seems to be applicable to JumpStarts.... does anyone know if the same workaround applies to bootable DVDs ??

Has anyone else had this problem ?

Thanks,
Declan
