I would like ideas on how best to structure the live media grub menu to provide the user both the ability to enable ssh, and select the defaults for the language prompts.
This is to address bug: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6431 This bug was filed by the QA team to enable easier remote access to help automate testing. To address the "enable ssh" issue Dave Miner had told me to add a new grub entry to allow the user to enable ssh. The bug has since been updated with a request to also automatically select the language defaults (keyboard layout and desktop language). Dave Miner had suggested the QA folks investigate using expect to automate the language selection. After investigation it turns out the QA folks can not use expect. So they need to be able to enable ssh while selecting the language defaults and perhaps without selecting the language defaults. This would create 4 new grub entires. One idea I had was to provide an undocumented grub flag to force the selection of the default language options and require the QA folks to manually edit the grub entry and pass this option. But that sounds a bit awkward to me. Any ideas? Thanks, Joe
