Hi all, I want to setup a diskless OpenSolaris client. Chapter 7 of the Solaris System Administration Guide (Basic Administation) explains how a client can be installed with the help of PXE (not what I am interested in) and later how a client can be booted with PXE, pxegrub in my case as it is a x86 machine.
I wonder if I can follow the instructions of the guide and if the packages are available in OpenSolaris because the guide is for Solaris users and not OpenSolaris, right? My goal is to have a single server (most probably running Linux), acting as a TFTP-, DHCP- and NFS-server that makes it possible to boot Linux _and_ Solaris on various diskless machines. At this time I am able to load pxegrub and a menu.lst file of a Linux server. I am able to boot Linux with NFS root from pxegrub. As a newbie to Solaris, I had no better idea than setting up a Solaris server that makes it possible to boot a diskless Solaris client and than have a look which kernels, menu.lst entries and NFS settings are used to clone them to the Linux server. If someone can tell me how this would work without setting up a Solaris server I would prefer this of course.
