Re: [osol-discuss] Specifying the kernel in my image.

(Cross-posting to caiman-discuss) If you've compiled the kernel sources, you have 2 options: 1) Publish them as the appropriate IPS package to a (local) repository, and use that as the preferred publisher / authority for the distro_const (DC) build. 2) Add a finalizer script, immediately after

Re: [osol-discuss] Missing partition on opensolaris: help?

The output of format shows disks, not partitions. Run: fdisk /dev/rdsk/c8d0p0 You should see the defined partitions there. The first partition maps to: /dev/rdsk/c8d0p1, the second to p2, etc. - Keith On 06/ 3/10 02:04 PM, Andrew Greimann wrote: Thanks for the commands and support so far.

Re: [osol-discuss] New user needing help

Hi, I think it's great that you're giving OpenSolaris a try! By default, 'root' is a role, not a user, so I'm guessing you're not set up to log in to root directly. However, you should be able to use "pfexec" or "su" to act as root when logged in as your normal user. Now as for getting stuck

Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris SPARC AI Installation in DHCP-enabled corporate network

From my limited understanding, DHCP macros should be available on other systems running as DHCP servers. How to add the macro in will depend on the OS, but ideally your IT folks will know how to do it. If it's Solaris, dhtadm or dhcpmgr. If it's something else, there should be another tool or G
