It's been my experience on X86 Nevada(SXCE) that by default even though a PXE/DHCP boot is used to net-install, the install configures the host being installed for a static network config - basically mimicing what I've always experienced on SPARC using RARP/Bootparams.
By this I mean it populated /etc/nodename, /etc/hostname.ifX, and /etc/hosts. I've just started JumpStarting s10u6 again (first time really on X86,) and unless I"m doing something wrong, it appears that the default on s10 on X86 is to leave the machine's network config as DHCP?? Is that right? On s10 I'm seeing it not create /etc/nodename, create empty /etc/hostname.ifX, and /etc/dhcp.ifX, and not put anything other than the localhost entries in /etc/hosts. Why the difference? What is the recommended way of 'requesting' a static config through jumpstart on s10? Which way is NV moving (for the non-NWAM config)?? -Kyle
