Sun Microsystems X1150A manual Find the root directory of the client system

Page 52

2.Find the root directory of the client system.

The client system’s root directory can be found in the install server’s /etc/bootparams file. Use the grep command to search this file for the root directory.

#grep client_name /etc/bootparams

client_name root=server_name:/netinstall/Solaris_2.7/Tools/Boot install=server_name:/netinstall boottype=:in rootopts=:rsize=32768

In the example above, the root directory for the Solaris 7 client is /netinstall. In Step 4, you would replace root_directory with /netinstall.

Note If the root directory is not found in the /etc/bootparams file, refer to the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide for configuration instructions.

3.Insert the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Driver 1.0 Update 1 CD into the install server’s CD-

ROM drive.

The CD should automatically mount to the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory. If the CD did not get mounted to this directory, refer to “Installing the Driver Software” on page 9 for mounting instructions.

4.On the install server, install the GigaSwift Ethernet software to the client’s root directory, as determined in Step 2.

Replace root_directory with the location of the client’s root directory.

#cd /cdrom/cdrom0/GigaSwiftEthernet/Packages

#ls SUNWce*

SUNWcea SUNWceax SUNWced SUNWcedu SUNWcem

#pkgadd -R root_directory/Solaris_2.7/Tools/Boot -d . SUNWced SUNWcem SUNWcedu

#cd /

Note The directory paths for these files might change in future Solaris releases. If the commands above do not work correctly, refer to the documentation that shipped with your version of the Solaris operating environment.

5.Eject the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Driver 1.0 Update 1 CD from the CD-ROM drive.

Note Perform the following steps on the client system.
