Hi guys - I have been having trouble to automated jumpstart working with
pxelinux and solaris10 on x4200 - it seem i can boot x86 miniroot with
mcboot.c32
this is the label i am using
label solaris_x86
kernel mboot.c32
append boot/multiboot kernel/unix -v install -B console=ttya ---
boot/x86.miniroot
IPAPPEND=3
however i notice that netstrategy is reporting "ufs none none" (wven miniroot
is picked from solaris nevada build 90) -- and IPAPPEND does not seem to
matter
as bootargs does not seem to get the ip/netmask info
question to the gurus:
-->doesnt netstrategy work nicely with pxelinux?
-->doesnt IPAPPEND line appended to the label above work with solaris10
miniroot
any info/suggestion is extremely valuable
Thanks!!
