Sounds like an error in the installadm script that it's only handling x86. 
SPARC doesn't use pxegrub since it doesn't use grub (and most certainly not one 
that is "I86PC"); look for an inetboot file in /tftpboot for OpenSolaris.

Subject: [sysadmin-discuss] Automated Installer Setup 

Hi Everyone, 

I'm trying to setup an AI server for OpenSolaris Sparc Clients by following the 
following instructions: 

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/auto_install/AI_install_server_setup.html#ai_sparc_setup
 

I fumbled on step 6 where I'm asked to run # installadm create-service 

I getting the following error: 

copying boot file to /tftpboot/pxegrub.I86PC.OpenSolaris-1 
cp: cannot stat `/var/tmp/osol-0906-106a-ai-sparc/boot/grub/pxegrub': No such 
file or directory 
chmod: cannot access `/tftpboot/pxegrub.I86PC.OpenSolaris-1': No such file or 
directory 

Going back to check the target directory /var/tmp/osol-0906-106a-ai-sparc and 
yes indeed the grub directory is missing. I'm suspecting that it could be a bad 
iso file but I tried two different downloads on two different systems with two 
different platform and the same result. The iso image file size is identical on 
both. 

I also try to run the same same setup for the x86 PC image, and the command ran 
without errors. 

Does anyone have this problem or know anyone had successfully setup an AI 
install server for sparc clients? Please advise. 

Thanks!
