SUMMARY: eri interface to full duplex for JUMPSTART

First and foremost -- thanks to:

for the typical fast (and accurate) responses --

I pretty much got variations on the same two answers -- 

the first (in order of mail timestamp) was  to configure your rules
file to look something like:

hostname   hostname   start/speed   profiles/hostname.profile
finish/hostname.finish

then start/speed contains the following:

#!/bin/ksh

# Set the speed to 100Mhz Full Duplex for hme or eri (Sun Blade)
# now add correct lines to /etc/system to force first NIC to run at 100Mb
FDX
NIC="`ifconfig -a | grep UP | grep -v lo0 | cut -c1-3`"
case ${NIC} in
        hme)
        ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100T4_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0

        ;;
        eri)
        ndd -set /dev/eri adv_autoneg_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/eri adv_100T4_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/eri adv_100fdx_cap 1
        ndd -set /dev/eri adv_100hdx_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/eri adv_10fdx_cap 0
        ndd -set /dev/eri adv_10hdx_cap 0

        ;;
        *)
        ;;
esac


the other was to make the correct '/etc/system' type entries in:

/export/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2-02/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot/etc/system

(where /export/jumpstart/OS/Soalris_8_2-02 is replaced by the path to
your installation media)

Thanks for the help all!!!  (jumpstarts are down from 2 hours to 30
minutes... whoot!)
