Thanks to Sean Quaint for pointing out that NIS+ should be NISPLUS for
Solaris 2.6 JumpStart.
The only other thing required was to patch mini-root:
a) Download Sun patch 106193-05 from
http://sunsolve.sun.com/private-cgi/retrieve.pl?type=0&doc=patches/10619
3
to /tmp
b) cd /tmp
zcat 106193-05.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
./installpatch -C <path to JumpStart Install
directory>/Tools/Boot .

> Hi,

> The sysidnis part of my Solaris 2.6 5/98 auto-install starts asking
questions to get answers that it should get from a line of the sysidcfg
file. Press F2 a few times and its hands-off again. The rest of the
sysidcfg file works fine. The same line works fine for a Solaris 7
JumpStart.

> The line is
> name_service=NIS+ {domain_name=<domain name>
name_server=<hostname>(<IP address>)}
> where the <> parts are substituted with known good values.

> Maybe the mini-root should be patched. Maybe the syntax is OK for
Solaris 7 but not 2.6. I can't access an "Advanced Installation Guide"
for 2.6. All the links to it on Sun's website seem to go nowhere or to
the Solaris 7 version.
