My Menu file was created by the add_install_client script specifically for the
MAC addr of the machine. As far as hostname -> IP addresses go, the last octet
of the IP follows the numbering convention for the host names. The Menu file
looks like so:
[root at c3keval03:/tftpboot]# uname -a
SunOS c3keval03 5.10 Generic_137138-09 i86pc i386 i86pc
[root at c3keval03:/tftpboot]# cat menu.lst.010017A4770004

title Solaris_10 Jumpstart
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/multiboot kernel/unix - install dhcp -B \
install_config=192.168.1.3:/export/config, \
sysid_config=192.168.1.3:/export/config/c3keval05, \
install_media=192.168.1.3:/export/install, \
install_boot=192.168.1.3:/export/install/boot
module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/x86.miniroot
Overall, my problem is not booting. It's that I can not seem to figure out a
way to determine what is happening after the machine boots. I PXE boot, GRUB
sends the Kernel down, the machine loads the kernel configures devices, then
prompts me with a 6 option menu 4 options for installing Solaris, 1 option to
load a driver, and 1 option for a shell. This exactly the problem I am having
in my heterogeneous environment. I only started experimenting on the Blade
platform because I can completely isolate it from my network and I have 6
blades to work with. I needed to rule out issues like : NFS served by our EMC
NS500G being incompatible with the jumpstart kernel or even NFS served by my
TFTP server being incompatible with the jumpstart kernel.
What I have now is a completely isolated jumpstart environment that is 100%
Solaris 10 built from the scripts in the Tools Directory on the DVD and it
still doesn't work.
Below are the rest of the files associated with the jumpstart server:
