[install-discuss] Unattended install of snv_101 without a jumpstart server?

[kristof]

You can do an unattended install via DVD, but you will have to create a custom 
DVD. 

see: http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0806/819-7546.pdf

You have to include the jumpstart profile, rules, begin/finish script & 
sysidcfg file.

To automatically start a jumpstart install via dvd, you have to modify the 
miniroot, see blueprint

Example 1?Setting Up for Jumpstart 
Modifying the miniroot for Jumpstart normally does not require staging it, as 
you need to make only two 
modifications: 
1. Remove the existing symbolic link from the miniroot, and then place the 
sysidcfg file in /etc. 
      # rm /tmp/mrmnt/etc/sysidcfg 
      # cp sysidcfg /tmp/mrmnt/etc 
2. Modify the boot script (/tmp/mrmnt/usr/sbin/install.d/profind) so that it 
will pick up a 
customized Jumpstart configuration. This involves removing the conditional for 
the existence of  
/tmp/.preinstall: 
      cdrom() 
      { 
          # Factory JumpStart is only allowed with factory 
          # stub images, indicated by the file /tmp/.preinstall 
          # 
          if [ -f /tmp/.preinstall ]; then <----------------------------------- 
Remove this line 
              mount -o ro -F lofs ${CD_CONFIG_DIR} ${SI_CONFIG_DIR} >/dev/null 
2>&1 
      T 
              if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then 
                  verify_config "CDROM" 
              fi 
          fi <----------------------------------------------------------------- 
Remove this line 
      } 
These are normally all the modifications that you need to make to the miniroot 
in order to set up a custom 
Jumpstart.
