I've created a new Solaris 10 whole root zone twice now. Each time it
appears to create the zone normally and it boots up, but when I run
zconsole -C zone, I'm presented with a login prompt. I can login as
root (without a password) and I get to a very bare system. Why won't
it run the normal Solaris installation script where I can enter the
hostname, time-zone, and other settings? I tried sys-unconfig but
that only rebooted to the same state as I started with!?

which solaris release is this? There is no zconsole on my Solaris 10 U8
system. After configuring and installing the zone boot it up with
zoneadm -z zonename boot and login to the console with zlogin -C zonename.

Then you should be able to give the zone it's initial configuration.

Assuming you meant "zlogin -C zonename" like the previous poster
indicated, ensure your system isn't adding a "/etc/sysidcfg" via some
automated fashion. Normally, the file doesn't exist in a new zone
which is why you are asked to configure the zone at first boot.

I did mean zlogin, not zconsole, sorry. I'm still stuck though. I
deleted and added the new zone again. Transcript below. No default
sysidcfg after the build, but it still won't run the installer. The
Solaris 10 version is 3/05, but I did just install the big Recommended
patch cluster on the global zone. Prior to that, I had installed two
other zones on the same system, both of which ran the installer on
first boot!

OK, you selected to create a "sparse zone".

looks like you just created a sparse zone, so far so good.

looks like you just removed the inherit package directories that a
sparse zone would normally have.

Question, are you attempting to created a whole root or a sparse root
zone? If you want create a whole root zone, you will need to specify
the "create -b" option when creating the zone. Creating a "sparse
zone" then removing the inherit-pkg-dir properties doesnt sound like
it would work. I would use the "create -b" as the initial option and
see if that fixes the issue.
