Howdy!
I'm a solaris noob...
I want to net boot diskless clients with a RAMDISK on /.
I have pxegrub served by dhcp to the PXE client and have
the following for menu.lst
default=0
timeout=30
#min_mem64 1024
title OpenSolaris Ramdisk
kernel$ /solaris/platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix -m verbose -B
module$ /solaris/root.img
logs on the server show both ../unix and root.img are sent by
the server.
I get grub boot menu. The image appears to load (ie dots scroll
across the screen)
and the OpenIndiana license appears, but hangs and there is no more output..
I was inspired by this
http://mperedim.wordpress.com/2010/10/10/solaris-diskless-ramdisk-boot/
I did the following
1) Install onto regular local disk, disable nwam service,
enable/configure for
oldstyle network
2) find / |cpio -pd /image
3) chroot /image - remove X11 packages
4) edit /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc remove "bootpath"
5) bootadm update-archive -R /image
6) root_archive pack root.img /image
7) copy root.img and /image/platform/ to /tftpboot/solaris/ on the
dhcp/tftp server
8) reboot and configure for PXE netboot
I guess I missed something? What else do I need to do?
Do I need to edit /etc/system or /etc/vfstab or /lib/svc/method/??
thanx - steve
