		Your Answers:
Information for Installation	Description or Example	Defaults (*)
Default route	Do you want to specify a default route IP address,	• Specify One
	or let the OpenSolaris installation program find	• Detect One
	one?	• None*
	The default route provides a bridge that forwards
	traffic between two physical networks. An IP
	address is a unique number that identifies each host
	on a network.
	You have the following choices:
	• You can specify the IP address. An
	/etc/defaultrouter file is created with the
	specified IP address. When the system is
	rebooted, the specified IP address becomes the
	default route.
	• You can let the OpenSolaris installation program
	detect an IP address. However, the system must
	be on a subnet that has a router that advertises
	itself by using the Internet Control Message
	Protocol (ICMP) for router discovery. If you are
	using the command-line interface, the software
	detects an IP address when the system is booted.
	• You can select None if you do not have a router
	or do not want the software to detect an IP
	address at this time. The software automatically
	tries to detect an IP address on reboot.
Time zone	How do you want to specify your default time	• Geographic
	zone?	region*
		• Offset from GM
		• Time zone file
Root password	Choose a root password for the system.
