by Hello,
I am trying to install a base OS w/ a flash archive.
The installation is working ok. But I am seeing 2 problems
that I cannot seem to get around.
1.) System locale is not being set
2.) Root password is not being set
sysidcfg file has the needed entries
system_locale=en_US
root_password=xxxxxxx
Install log shows that locale appears to be set.
Begin script install_begin execution completed.

Extracting archive: <archive name >
=====================================================================
Password problem below:
As the server is rebooting it goes interactive and asks for the root
password
to be set. Once I enter a root passwd then the reboot completes and it
states
system identification complete...
If I just do a non-flash archive install these problems are not seen.
The local and root passwd are properly set from the sysidcfg file.
This is isolated to the flash archive installs..I created the archive
as
follows:
flarecreate -n " named it" -R / -x /pathtojumpstart <archive name>
Has anybody run into this ?
