Performing an SIA PXE-Based Attended Installation
Tip – The next events occur very quickly; therefore, focused attention is needed for the following steps. Watch carefully for these messages, as they appear on the screen for a brief time. You might want to enlarge the size of your screen to eliminate scroll bars.
2As the system boots, do one of the following to start a network boot:
■When prompted, press F12 to boot from the first network boot device found.
■When prompted, press F8 to display the boot menu and specify the network boot device.
Tip – On a Sun Blade server module, you can determine the PXE interface boot device by (1) matching the PXE:Slot# (listed on the Please Select Boot Device menu) with the physical NEM or EM slot number label on the chassis, and (2) matching the F# (listed on the Please Select Boot Device menu) with the physical NIC port number label on the NEM (ports 0.0 to 9.0 and 0.1 to 9.1) or EM (ports 0 or port 1).
After the network boot device is specified, the system attempts to get the IP address from the DHCP PXE boot server. After the PXE server is found, the PXE boot prompt appears.
