I am trying to install a sparc workstation, which apparently requires an OS 0906 install server, which is a chicken and egg problem if you ask me.
I installed Virtual Box 3.04 on my Mac and installed the OS 0906 x86 here. I went through the installadm fun and configured it so that the DHCP was running on e1000g0 (en0) and the system had access to the Internet via e1000g1 (en1). The problem is, the installer expected to be able to reach the Internet, which it can't route to, so I tried to turn on NAT and ipv4 packet forwarding, but I can't seem to get ipfilter to *enable*. I just get I/O errors when I try to use the raw commands directly, and there were several posts around the Internet that indicated I needed to enable the ipfilter service, so I did that, but it won't start.. it takes quite a while to fail to start, of course I have no idea what its doing, and it doesn't log anything useful. root at Fudge-OS:~# ipf -Fa ioctl(SIOCIPFFL): I/O error root at Fudge-OS:~# ipnat -F ioctl(SIOCGNATS): I/O error root at Fudge-OS:~# tommy at Fudge-OS:~$ su - Password: Sun Microsystems Inc.
