3.2 Net-Install of Solaris 2.4 Over the hme Interface
This section is only applicable if you are installing Solaris 2.4 on a net-install
client system over the SunSwift SBus Adapter (hme) interface.
Note – The Solaris 2.4 CD-ROM cannot be used to perform a net-install (read
only), thus the Solaris 2.4 CD image archive is required to update certain
SunSwift SBus Adapter files.
Updating the Solaris 2.4 Archive to Use the hme Interface
1. Determine the directory where the CD image is located on the boot server.
For example, if the Solaris software is located within a directory named
DIR, change to the root partition of the client being installed by typing:
The /etc/bootparams file will point you to the client’s root partition.
2. Edit the name_to_major file by adding an entry for the SunSwift SBus
Adapter device (hme).
If the major device number for the last file entry is n then use n+1 for the
hme channel major device number. As shown in the example below, if the
last entry for the major device number is 108, use 109 for the hme device.
3. Copy the hme driver from the SunSwift SBus Adapter CD-ROM to the
client’s root partition as follows:
4. On the client system, perform the tasks in Section 3.5.3, “Booting From
the Network Using Solaris 2.4.”
# cd DIR/export/exec/kvm/<archive_of_arch>/etc
# llcl 107
# audiocs 108
# hme 109
# cp /cdrom/sunswift_1_0/2.4/SUNWhmd/reloc/kernel/drv/hme \
DIR/export/exec/kvm/<archive_of_arch>/kernel/drv
