Ignite-UX Installation Booting

To enable this feature, the pre_reboot_cmd command hook must be specified in the install file
system. The following is an example showing how to set it:
1. Save the default contents of the install file system to a temporary file
# instl_adm -d > /var/tmp/myconfig
2. Edit the file:
# vi /var/tmp/myconfig
At the end of the file, add a line that looks like (note that the location of spaces and other
information in the command is important and it must be preserved exactly "as is"):
pre_reboot_cmd += "/sbin/sh -c /sbin/sh</dev/console>/dev/console\ 2>&1 ;"
3. Apply the changes to the install file systems
# instl_adm -f /var/tmp/myconfig
4. Verify the contents of the install file system to ensure it contains the correct information:
# instl_adm -d
...
pre_reboot_cmd += "/sbin/sh -c /sbin/sh</dev/console>/dev/console\ 2>&1 ;"
Important:
The above commands apply this change to all the install file systems
present on the system. This change applies to network booted systems;
you might need to make additional customizations to have this apply to
CD/DVD or tape media you create.
When using the shell provided by this command hook, it is important to note that very few
commands will be available - you can rely on the presence of
/sbin/cat but not /sbin/ls or
/sbin/ll. To view the contents of a directory run the following command:
# echo /tmp/*
Where /tmp is the directory you want a list of files from.
Network recovery/installation without network boot helpers:
There are several methods for doing this. Note that some methods work only on HP9000 systems or
HP Integrity systems.
As of Ignite-UX version C.6.2, an example script is provided that can create many types of custom
media:
