I have setup a jumpstart server using solaris 9.
After running boot net - install the process runs ok and finds my sysidcfg file ok . . . however the installation stalls at the 'The Solaris Installation Program' screen.
in order to proceed i have to manually press 'F2_Continue'
why is it stopping here?
any help much appreciated :)
I wonder if it is using the sysid config file on your Jumpstart Server. In the Jumpstart output does it state the following:
"Using sysid configuration file <jumpstart-server-ip-address>:/<jumpstart-dir>/sysidcfg"?
e.g. "Using ..... 192.168.1.1:/jumpstart_dir/sysidcfg"
thank you for reply.
yes the path to the sysidcfg file is correct.
after it has found the sysidcfg the screen displays 'search complete'
after that the screen displays 'The system is coming up. Please wait'
then screen displays 'Begin system identification' after this it asks for F2_Continue
on my working Solaris 8 jumpstart server the screen does not display 'Begin system identification'
it displays 'Starting remote procedure call (RPC) services : sysidns done
I have exactly this problem but adding the default_route option to the network_interface line of my sysidcfg file does not make any difference.
Also the Sun Jumpstart Technology book states the following
"If DHCP is not used, you do not need to specify protocol_ipv6 and default_route"
Did you do anything else that might have fixed the problem?
