All Apologies for not replying earlier, but I've been sunning myself in Cornwall. Anyway, the thing that I had forgotten was that I was building the Jumpstart server on an x86 laptop (money's tight, but this solution is portable across several Data Centres and IP subnets). s1 exists, but only by default when mounted on a Sparc system. A bit of additional jiggery pokery is needed to get the s1 slice to mount on the laptop. The Solaris 10 DVD (x86 & Sparc) mounts everything under the one slice, so that's why I had no problemos there. Google for 'solaris lofiadm jumpstart iso' Many thanks to Darren Dunham who pointed the way, Kim de Smaele for those pertinent questions, and to Ketan Patel - this one's for you. Thanks - Ian -----Original Message----- From: sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org [mailto:sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org] On Behalf Of Ian Topham Sent: 17 August 2007 12:12 To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: Jumpstart Solaris 9 Gurus We are trying to install a jumpstart version of Solaris 9 from the original distro pack and also the downloaded .iso file. We are having an issue with the setup_install_server script as it tries to find the boot image at /cdrom/sol_9_904_sparc/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot. This is a link which points to ../../../s1. s1 doesn't exist, and on the Solaris 10 distro, Boot is a directory under /cdrom/sol_9_904_sparc/Solaris_9/Tools/. Is this a known bug, and if so, is there a workaround Thanks - Ian Ian Topham Senior UNIX Specialist This email is confidential and may be privileged.
