See http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/Installation_Parameters for a complete list of installation boot parameters. If you don't have the control of the DHCP server, just use an auto-install boot media. See si_mkautoinstalldisk(8) to create a bootable disk or USB flash, or si_mkautoinstallcd(8) to create a bootable CD-ROM. This will do the job, just like setting up these parameters via the DHCP server. > > > I also have a feeling that it may be the fact that Sit0 is trying to be > installed.

By default (if you don't specify a preferred interface) SystemImager tries to get a valid IP address from all the available interfaces via dhclient. With sit0 it'll simply fail and will just repeat the same attempt in another interface. -Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
