| Is there a way to get Solaris to install from pxeboot via FreeBSD? I think it should work, but it will need some more work then if you are using (open)solaris, because they provide scripts such as add_installserver which does most work for you, I think those scripts won't work on BSD, So will have to:
- setup an nfs share, and copy the complete dvd to the nfs share Activate tftp, copy pxegrub.0 + /media/dvd/boot/platform/ + x86.miniroot to /tftpboot Create a menu.lst.01<MAC ADRES> file in /tftpboot or just create /tftpboot/boot/grub/menu.lst (which is the default menu.lst fallback) an example menu.lst for initial install titleOpensolaris net install kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix -v -m verbose - install dhcp -B install_media=NFSSERVER:nfsshare,install_boot=NFSSERVER:nfsshare/boot module /x86.miniroot This should bring you to the interactive installer, for automated install you will have to add install_config and sysid_config options, but then you will have to create some extra files such as: rules, profile, begin and finish script Finaly configure your dhcpserver, we use ISC dhcp3 for example, so we just add to extra parameters to the client config: next-server ip tftp server; filename "pxegrub.0" so next time we boot the server via pxe we will get to the installer.
