force Xsun via jumpstart (Solaris 10 X86)

Hi all:

We have a SF250 Solaris 9 server, serving as solaris 10 X86 jumpstart server....

Or fail is that no matter how we make the sysidcfg file for our clients... after the installation the kdmconfig programs ask about Xsun or Xorg Xserver setup..

We have deal to make the Xsun video config...but stills asks about the Xserver.. does anybody know to ged rid of this question!!?

Thanks a lot!

add to your sysidcfg this should work for Solaris 904 Solaris 10 b72, b74 and Solaris 10 305, and any of the OpenSolaris b19 or above I have not yet found instructions on how to set the grub, the kenel loads when I type the install=ip_address:/junpstart/Boot_path but it loads the root mage from the CD

Add this to your sysidcfg

keyboard=ATKBD {layout=US-English}

pointer=MS-S

display=VESA {size=17}

terminal=dtterm

I have had some sucess with the kdmconfig this updates the /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file so you know that your are using the same vidio and mouse card and monitors , one could then create templates and copy then into a post install script ot update the sysidcfg

i.e: taken from the OWconfig to apply for your situation sysidcfg in your jumpstart profile:

keyboard=ATKBD {layout=US-English}

pointer=MS-S

terminal=xterm

display=VESA {size=17}

there is some interaction under Solaris 10x86 with /etc/X11 for Xorg instead of Xsun X11 display.
