So you created the this flash DVD yourself? how did you create this and on what type of machine.
wouldn't if be /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Product/test_sol10.archive
but I thought a DVD flash has to go to the DVD's solaris10 directory and pull the information. since a DVD is holding the soalris 10 / on there unlike a jumpstart server where it is stored on a directory the locations need to be exact or it will not work.
Took me a long time to get a DVD flash to work properly
It can be set up many ways tell me how you created and what system you used and i might be able to help you better.
Thanks for your response .I created this on a 4200 Solaris10, I was following the sun blueprint doc "GRUB and the SOLARIS OS on X86 PLATFORM - a GUIDE TO CREATING A BOOTABLE DVD" It is no longer hanging now, but I have to manually specify the local file as it doesn't find any rule to match to, should I perhaps create a specific profile instead of editing the any_machine profile
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:
now you can use hostname, IP address, Model, Netowork.
I use hostname since it is in the host file.
Profile file:
SYSIDCFG
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.
yes this is pretty much what I have I am using the arch i386 option in the rules file, perhaps I am not in the coorect location though. I am in the Solaris_10/Misc/jumpstart_sample directory should I perhaps have this in the miniroot so it is picked up at boot??
