Solaris 10 dvd booting process

Hi,

I'm using a Solaris 10 06/06 dvd to make a flash archive installation on a TadPole. Everything works fine, except that one script tries to launch the X server, and cannot ( the graphic card driver is not on the original Solaris 10 dvd ). So i've got an error message displayed during the installation process.

Everything works well after this message, but as we'll have to deploy this installation dvd, i'm searching the scripts called during the booting process. I've tried those in Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/sbin ( like install-discovery, sysid-setup, ... ), but none of my modifications appear. They don't seem to be the good ones.

Can someone help me finding these scripts ? Or is there a way to force the boot arguments ( it works perfectly with boot cdrom - install - nowin ) so that the user won't have to type them ?

Thanks a lot

Looks like some of the scripts might be in usr/lib/install/data/wizards/bin.

In addition I see at least one script that checks for the presence of /usr/openwin/bin/xinit before starting X. Maybe if you remove that file from the jumpstart image it won't try to start the windowing system.

Make sure you read sbin/install-setup. It has a large comment section at the top that talks about the process flow.

Unfortunately, with Solaris 10 I no longer know exactly what is parsing the boot arguments. It used to be part of sbin/rcS.
