Jumpstart Solaris 7 question

2007-12-25 9:51:00

Thanks to Chris Knox, Michael Salehi, Ed Keizer, and Arthur Dunham for their

answers. The exact solution was based on Ed Keizer's answer and my reading

the Advanced Installation guide section regarding the jumpstart setup for

the fourth time:

Ed Keizer:

We have seen this when we had missing files at the install server. The

install

server is the server mentioned in the bootparam install feature.

        install=server:/miscx/solaris/Solaris-2.7

The directory should at least contain:

        .cdtoc

        .install_config

        .slicemapfile

        .volume.inf

        Copyright

        Solaris_2.7

We see the error you mention when we forget to copy the `.' files from the

CD.

That hint made me look at the entry in the /etc/bootparams file. I had the

install entry set to install=install-srv:/usr/export/install when it should

have been install=install-srv:/usr/export/install/sparc_2.7 What made me

change it was the fact that the sparc_2.7 directory was the one with the "."

files in it.

Thanks again, it's working great now.
