ungh, ok, last post.

I said:

"Where SUNW.i86pc is my dhtadm macro."

That should have been:

"Where SUNW.i86pc is my boot file."

Sorry Smilie

Hi Diabolist,

I am not using PXEGrub, that might confuse a bit, i am using PXELinux to boot it from.
this is why it looks a bit different :-)

Code:
# Sun Solaris 10.0
label solaris10
	MENU LABEL Solaris 10.0
	KERNEL mboot.c32
	append boot/multiboot kernel/unix -v -m debug dhcp -B install_config=10.1.4.240:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/Solaris_10/sysidcfg,install_media=10.1.4.240:/jumpstart/OS/x86/Solaris_10_5 --- boot/x86.miniroot 
IPAPPEND=1

@ my work we are running all the pxeboot's from the windows WDS server, and from there it should continue over to the jumpserver, and it is working.. well partially ;-)
Still for some reason i can't get the interface online, before it tries to connect to the jumpstart server.

This causes it to exit, and end up in the shell, like you see in the video.

I haven't tried to check all the dhtadm options, i took over this enviroment just 1½ months ago, and none had any info about the entire unix enviroment.. so i have my head burried in work atm Smilie
