Ignite-UX processes config files in the order shown below. The following description of each class explains how the various installation parameters can be progressively overridden:

1.Installation control parameters - You can define the behavior of the installation process using parameters stored within the segment of the install file system that is reserved for configuration parameters (the first 8 KB). This configuration file location is special because it is available to Ignite-UX very early in the boot process. Some parameters that control installation must be specified here. You can specify defaults for parameters, such as:

•IP address of the Ignite-UX server

•Whether to halt the client when the installation is complete

•Whether to execute installation of new clients from the Ignite-UX server GUI

Table 11 lists the install kernel and install file system names and supported hardware architecture.

These install kernels and install file systems are located in the

/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_release directory. Install kernels are normally hard linked, such that INSTALLFS, WINSTALLFS, IINSTALLFS, & VINSTALLFS files are one and the same. Ignite-UX uses the INSTALLFS file system as a default unless an alternate is specified using the -Foption of the instl_adm command. For more information, see instl_adm(1M).

Control parameters, such as run_ui, control_from_server, and disable_dhcp, can only be specified in the install file system configuration area and are accessed early in the
