Answer: ------ Yes, it is doable. I may need to install the bootblock and be careful with /etc/vfstab, but it should be simple to do especially when NIS/NIS+ or other sharing and security concerns are not an issue. Original Question: ----------------- Just a quick and perhaps obvious/simple question: Would it be possible to install several installations of Solaris on different partitions and make them all bootable? The goal is having a machine where a client can turn on the machine, and at the OK prompt (assuming auto-boot? False), type: `boot michael` or `boot john` etc. (which maps to slice 0, slice 1, etc), giving everyone an independent version of the OS. I would assume if this is possible you would just install over and over to each slice, while preserving previous installs and then setting up nvalias's. Think it's do-able? _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Jul 10 09:31:45 2003
