boot net -v - install
is more verbose.

Check your NFS configuration. Are you* up on a mount on a
system not responding or unavailable perhaps?

Did you export/share your jumpstart  directory on your install server?
You might want to examine your /etc/bootparams file. Are you pointing
to the correct install server?

1. Jumpstart x86: How not to PXE after jumpstart finishes and reboots ...

Hi:

Does anyone know or have a the soultion to the following.

========
Given:
========
 - Jumpstart Solaris 10 onto an !!NON-Sun!! manufactured x86 systems
   (where there is a BIOS, and not OpenBoot).

 - Completely hands-off since we are building racks of these x86
systems.

========
Question
========
How does one get around the fact that the BIOS, once set to boot off
the network
via PXE, cannot "programmatically" be reset to boot off the disk? (as
far as I know
it can only be done manually, which means no hands-off jumpstart). :-(

Side Note: Having to deal with this issue early on, Linux does so via a
system program
called pivot_root, which avoids rebooting altogether by essentially
unwinding the in-memory
O/S used at build time to a certain point, and then rebuilding the O/S
but from information
contained on the disk to create the run-time version (... it never
reboots).

Anyone see any work arounds for Solaris x86 (in any fashion) for this
problem?

TIA
Regards,
Noelle
