Install Solaris 9 X86 Via Serial Port?

2007-12-25 4:00:00

hello,

i'm attempting to install Solaris 9 X86 via the serial port by adding the
following lines to /solaris/bootenv.rc on the boot floppy (created from the
image file on the Software CD #2):
setprop output-device com1
setprop input-device com1

(I made these changes to the bootenv.rc file on a Linux box)

On boot it says:
Solaris boot sector, version 1

Solaris mdb exec load error

Does anyone have experience doing an install via serial port like this,
that can offer any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help -- ivan Fetch.
