In general, 2009.06 installadm tools are not backward compatible with older AI images: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/2009.06/AIinstall/faq.html#back In order to verify this is the issue you are encountering, what was the location where you obtain the AI image ? 2009.06 AI image (based on build 111b) could be obtained from following location: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/opensolaris/2009/06/osol-0906-ai-sparc.iso Thank you, Jan > > I have it to the point where the sparc netboots, > > > Boot device: /pci at 780/pci at 0/pci at 1/network at 0:dhcp File and args: > kmdb > 1000 Mbps full duplex Link up > Timed out waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply > <time unavailable> wanboot info: WAN boot messages->console > <time unavailable> wanboot info: configuring /pci at 780 > <mailto:pci at 780>/pci at 0/pci at 1/network at 0:dhcp > > 1000 Mbps full duplex Link up > <time unavailable> wanboot info: Starting DHCP configuration > <time unavailable> wanboot info: DHCP configuration succeeded > <time unavailable> wanboot progress: wanbootfs: Read 366 of 366 kB > (100%) 366 kB (19%) > <time unavailable> wanboot info: wanbootfs: Download complete > Wed Jul 1 16:01:08 wanboot progress: miniroot: Read 157890 of 157890 > kB (100%)0 kB (1%) > Wed Jul 1 16:01:08 wanboot info: miniroot: Download complete > ufs-file-system > Loading: /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200/kernel/sparcv9/unix > Loading: /platform/sun4v/kernel/sparcv9/unix > Loading kmdb... > WARNING: Unexpected token '.' on line 101 of /etc/system > SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_111 64-bit > Copyright 1983-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
