This seems to be because /etc/resolv.conf points to /target/etc/resolv.conf, and /target/etc/resolv.conf points to ../tmp/resolv.conf, which is the /tmp of the target disk. However, the resolv.conf file is not there, it is in the /tmp of the installation RAM disk. Pointing /target/etc/resolv.conf to /tmp/resolv.conf or copying the contents makes programs like ping resolve DNS names. The installation program does not resolve DNS names after this. A work-around is to use IP addresses instead.

I haven't observed this problem myself and have done many installs using dhcp (admittedly not on sparc, not tftp). I expect it is fixed, but I don't see in the logs where it was fixed. The submitter doesn't have hardware to test on any longer. I'm closing the bug. -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
