Weird - because I think I'm right in saying this > is all identified in the bootparams file, isnt it? If you don't want to spend hours delving around trying to sort it out, I suggest you go and download JET, JumpStart Enterprise Toolkit, from http://www.sun.com/downloads. Have a read of http://wikis.sun.com/display/JET/Home The authors' (Mike Ramchand) blog at http://blogs.sun.com/mramcha/ Quick start guide at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/jet/ External Sun help at http://jet.maui.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Main_Page And the Yahoo Group at JETJumpStart(a)yahoogroups.com I know JumpStart can be finicky etc, hence why JET is such a good tool. Personally I have not istalled by DVD for years, even a single box, I just plug my laptop in and JumpStart from there. Hell, I even used JET to JumpStart 2 RedHat servers last week. -- Bruce Porter "The internet is a huge and diverse community and not every one is friendly" http://www.ytc1.co.uk There *is* an alternative! http://www.openoffice.org/ |
