There's apparently some code in the card image install kernel that looks
for a real CD. Don't worry about that.
When it asks for the network device addresses you need to key in the
virtual device numbers in the format that is presented right before the
question is asked. So when the question comes up:
Device address for read channel [e003]>
You respond:
0.0.0340
It will subsequently ask for the write channel and data channel, just
reply with the device numbers in ascending sequence in the same format.

E007 ATTACHED TO CLIENT 0340
Why doesn't it like my E000 and/or e007 response?
Because you attached your REAL device E007-E009 as VIRTUAL device
addresses 0340-0342.
Using consistent virtual addresses on each server is a *GOOD THING*.
This permits you to have fewer changes between SLES guests.
You just attach different REAL devices to the guests as the same VIRTUAL
addresses. Linux only sees the same virtual device addresses, so the
Linux configuration is the same for pretty much everything except the IP
address and Hostname.
That way you take that same Golden Image, copy it to the next virtual
guest server, only have to change the IP address and Hostname, and add
whatever middleware it needs. The virtual OSA addresses are the same.
But you'd be far better off spending a little time researching VIRTUAL
SWITCHes and using them instead of real OSA addresses.

Hello,
From my Client userid, I type SLES to bring up the
full-service server for SLES10: This is what I get:
Why is it looking for the CDs when I have a starter system implemented?
