I've been trying to answer this question correctly (more than to say
"no"). I can't find where this is documented, so perhaps the SuSE folks
want you to set this up through YaST.
I believe the SLES9 and SLES9+SP1 (note the extra entries at bottom)
install trees should be as follow:
/sles9root/
boot -> SUSE-SLES-Version-9/CD1/boot
content -> SUSE-SLES-Version-9/CD1/content
control.xml -> SUSE-SLES-Version-9/CD1/control.xml
media.1 -> SUSE-SLES-Version-9/CD1/media.1
SUSE-CORE-Version-9/
CD1/
CD2/
CD3/
CD4/
CD5/
SUSE-SLES-Version-9/
CD1/
yast/
instorder
order
SUSE-SP1-Version-9/ # if SP1 ISO images exist, the following are
created
CD1/
CD2/
driverupdate -> SUSE-SP1-Version-9/CD1/driverupdate
linux -> SUSE-SP1-Version-9/CD1/linux/
Then the very important difference of the yast/order and yast/instorder
files. For SLES9 they are:
# cat order
SUSE-SLES-Version-9/CD1 /SUSE-SLES-Version-9/CD1
SUSE-CORE-Version-9/CD1 /SUSE-CORE-Version-9/CD1
For SLES9+SP1 they put the SP1 CDs first in the search list:
# cat order
SUSE-SP1-Version-9/CD1 /SUSE-SP1-Version-9/CD1
SUSE-SLES-Version-9/CD1 /SUSE-SLES-Version-9/CD1
SUSE-CORE-Version-9/CD1 /SUSE-CORE-Version-9/CD1
I have been modifying the mksles9root script for the last couple of days
so it will create a SLES9 tree if it finds the 6 SLES9 ISO images in the
current directory and a SLES9+SP1 tree if it also finds the 2 SP1 CDs. It
has been tested thinly, but I at least installed from a SLES9+SP1 tree and
got this:
# uname -a
Linux lat41 2.6.5-7.139-s390 #1 SMP Fri Jan 14 15:41:33 UTC 2005 s390
s390 s390 GNU/Linux
I've updated the documentation excerpt on
http://mikemacisaac.com/configureNFS.pdf
and the install script on http://mikemacisaac.com/mksles9root
Feedback will be appreciated (especially from anyone at SuSE working on
the install code :))
Hope this helps.
