Jumpstart installation problem.

UNIX Solaris
1

We are installing Solaris 9 with Jumpstart ...facing problems..
Problem is .it is prompting for questions, even though we set the Sysidcfg and class files properly.

when we give "boot net - install" at OK prompt, it is coming till

"The system is coming up. Please wait"

After that it is prompting to press F2 to continue and other settings...Once we cross system identification manually , it is doing the configuration and partioning automcatically with the class file.

Please help to make it unattended completely.

Thanks in advance...

Please post me the following info:

x) NFS shares

x) The structure of your NFS-shared jumpstart config directory (simply a ls)

x) A machine entry from /etc/bootparams

x) Do you want to install a Flash archive over jumpstart ?

Can you post your sysidcfg and the rule you are matching? The problem you are having is clearly coming from there, none of the other information requested above is relevant since the client is booting.

Sysidcfg file:

System_locale=en_US
name_service=NONE
network_interface=primary {protocol_ipv6=no netmask=255.255.255.0}
security_policy=NONE
timezone=US/Eastern
timeserver=localhost
terminal=vt100

Class file:
# cat any*
install_type initial_install
cluster SUNWCprog
system_type standalone
partitioning explicit
filesys c0t0d0s0 2048 /
filesys c0t0d0s1 4096 swap
filesys c0t0d0s2 all overlap
filesys c0t0d0s3 4096 /usr
filesys c0t0d0s4 2048 /var
filesys c0t0d0s5 2048 /tmp
filesys c0t0d0s6 free /space/essoh011-1

Rules.ok file:
# cat rules.ok
any - - any_machine -
# version=2 checksum=1909

The only thing that looksa little odd is:

system_locale=en_US

also did you specify -p to indicate where the sysidcfg is located?

Thanks a lot...it is working now..also added the default_route..

new sysidcfg file:

system_locale=en_US
name_service=NONE
network_interface=primary {protocol_ipv6=no netmask=255.255.255.0 default_route=172.21.2.254}
security_policy=NONE
timezone=Asia/Calcutta
timeserver=localhost
terminal=vt100
root_password=RuTCS9dteM3

Thanks
