2.Insert the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Driver 1.0 Update 1 CD into the 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.

3.Use the pkgadd -Rcommand to install the three GigaSwift Ethernet software packages to the diskless client’s root directory on the server.

You will need to install the SUNWced.u, SUNWcedm, and SUNWcedu software packages to the client’s root directory.

#cd /cdrom/cdrom0/GigaSwiftEthernet/Packages

#pkgadd -R /export/root/client_name-d . SUNWced.u SUNWcem SUNWcedu

#cd /

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

5.Create a hostname.cenumber file in the diskless client’s root directory.

You will need to create an /export/root/client_name/etc/hostname.cenumber file for the GigaSwift Ethernet interface. See “Configuring the Network Host Files” on page 25 for instructions.

6.Edit the hosts in the diskless client’s root directory.

You will need to edit the /export/root/client_name/etc/hosts file to include the IP address of the GigaSwift Ethernet interface. See “Configuring the Network Host Files” on page 25 for instructions.

7.Be sure to set the MAC address on the server side and rebuild the device tree if you want to boot from the GigaSwift Ethernet port.
