Net Install and JumpStart
Netinstall, Jumpstart Solaris
Is is very usefull to install your Suns via net. For example my older Suns have no DVD, but the latest Solaris 10 only comes as DVD.
Howto install Solaris from NetBSD on a Sparc
- Download the latest Solaris for Sparc Image
- mount this image on your NetBSD machine
vnconfig vnd0 /data/sol-10-u8-ga-sparc-dvd.iso
mount -t cd9660 /dev/vnd0 /mnt
- Find your machine type
- Search for the apropiate
inetboot file
> find /mnt -name inetboot
/mnt/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/platform/sun4u/inetboot
/mnt/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/platform/sun4us/inetboot
/mnt/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/platform/sun4v/inetboot
- Enable
tftpd in /etc/inetd.conf, mkdir /tftpboot, cp inetboot /tftpboot and /etc/rc.d/inetd reload
- Copy the
inetboot file for your machine (in my case Ultra 60 -> sun4u) into the tftp-dir cp /mnt/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/platform/sun4u/inetboot /tftpboot
- Enable
rarpd, echo "rarpd=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
- setup
/etc/hosts and /etc/ethers (on NetBSD rarpd need both ethers and hosts)
echo "8:0:20:a2:ba:5f ultra60" >> /etc/ethers
echo "192.168.2.2 mybsd" >> /etc/hosts
echo "192.168.2.202 ultra60" >> /etc/hosts
-
/etc/rc.d/rarpd start
- Enable nfs-server
echo "rpcbind=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
echo "mountd=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
echo "nfs-server=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
echo "lockd=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
echo "statd=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
echo "/mnt -alldirs -maproot=root -network 192.168.2.0 -mask 255.255.255." >> /etc/exports"
/etc/rc.d/rpcbind start
/etc/rc.d/mountd start
/etc/rc.d/nfsd start
/etc/rc.d/nfslocking start
- Enable bootparams
echo "bootparams=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
echo "ultra60 root=mali:/mnt/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot install=mybsd:/mnt rootopts=:rsize=8192 boottype=:in" >> /etc/bootparams
/etc/rc.d/bootparams start
- Connect to serial of your Sun
