Sun Microsystems B1600, B100X, AND B100S, B200X BLADE manual

Despite this message, the blade will perform a Jumpstart installation if you have configured it to do so.

Select the type of installation you want to perform:

1 Solaris Interactive

2 Custom JumpStart

Enter the number of your choice followed by the <ENTER> key. Alternatively, enter custom boot arguments directly.

If you wait for 30 seconds without typing anything, an interactive installation will be started.

Select type of installation:

<<< starting interactive installation >>>

Booting kernel/unix...

SunOS Release 5.9 Version Generic_112234-11 32-bit

You can easily confirm that a Jumpstart is in fact taking place because, early in the booting and installation process, the output will contain references to the Jumpstart configuration files (rules.ok, x86-begin, x86-class, x86-finish).

For example:

Booting kernel/unix...

:

Starting Solaris installation program...

Searching for JumpStart directory...

Using rules.ok from 123.123.123.163:/export/jumpstart.

Checking rules.ok file...

Using begin script: x86-begin

Using profile: x86-class

Using finish script: x86-finish

Executing JumpStart preinstall phase...

Executing begin script "x86-begin"...

Begin script x86-begin execution completed.

Searching for SolStart directory...

Checking rules.ok file...

where the ‘:’ character indicates information that has been removed from the sample output.
