Hello all,

could I please ask for reviewing fix for following enhancement ?

3635 Auto Installer (AI) SMF service is required by AI project
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3635

Webrev:
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~dambi/bug-3635/

Since this code shares stuff with the 3478 which is currently
in process of code review, the webrev is generated against
slim source gate containing fix for 3478 in order to isolate
changes which are specific to this fix.

Thank you,
Jan


Background:
The goal of Auto Installer (AI) SMF service is to invoke the auto installer
program. This service exists only during the process of installation.

The FMRI name: svc:/system/auto-installer:default
Start method: /lib/svc/method/auto-installer

Start method will:
- pick up service name from 'install_service' variable defined in GRUB
  menu.lst file - if not defined only default service is to be looked up
- invoke AI service discovery engine (AISD) for obtaining location of
  given install service
- invoke AI service choosing engine (AISC) which will connect to the machine
  looked up by AISD in order to obtain valid AI and SC (System Configuration)
  combined manifest
- call AI engine for taking care of installation process

The service will be delivered by SUNWauto-install package

Please see AI design specification for more details.
