[install-discuss] Custom Jumpstart from DVD

[kristof]

you can find the answer in the following guide:

GRUB and the SolarisTM Operating System on x86 Platforms - 
A Guide to Creating a Customized Boot DVD 

see:

when you search for jumpstart you will find the answers.

Basically you have to do 2 things:

modify the x86.miniroot

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 
      }
