Fixed it. It turned out to be a confusion with the network card specification in one of the config files, which meant that the boot was looking for a bge card instead of a bnx. In essence I had an invalid sysidcfg file. The two most useful links I used in the process were thus: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5506/epucy?a=view ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/software/solaris/455522-001.pdf The compaq doc is good for miniroot prep and additional driver installs (bnx and cpqary3 being the most important).

Now however, I seem to be tripping over on bootenv.rc. The last attempt appears to have ended up in a network boot but with no install actions taking place. Anyone got a sample bootenv.rc? Cheers --------------------- originally ------------------------------------------- Has anyone got a crib sheet for building a jumpstart for Proliants running Sol10_x86 please? I've been working at this for a week and I can't get past the thing ending up in interactive installs. I'm probably missing something trivial but I can't see what. Any and all assistance accepted.
