I'm just trying it - I actuall managed to boot kernel this way, can't go any further 'coz ethernet driver is missing. Now I'm trying to change miniroot :) Anyway, you have to provide tftpserver, so either you provied necessary options via dhcp (just two - BootSrvA and BootFile) or manually. Manually in GRUB it looks like: ifconfig --address=A.B.C.D --gateway=a.b.c.d --netmask=q.w.e.r --server=f.g.h.j then: root (nd) kernel ..... (the same way you wrote) module .... boot It works with b16/b17 but if grub was loaded from CD/fd in graphics mode you have to first change it to console (terminal console) - see bugs list. Booting using PXE "almost" works - I'm hit with 6285006 so either I will replace pxegrub from b15 or wait for b18 (when it will be available?). -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
