We, at Soft tech have a tool that may help you especially with Solaris &
jump start issues, you can see it at http://sundetective.com good luck,
maybe use the floppy method for your profile, rules etc.

Subject: [SunHELP] Problem testing Jumpstart profile (detailed)


I am setting up jumpstart and all is going well until I try testing my
profile.  First I ran ./check and it sees my rules and profile files as
OK.
BTW, my profile file looks like (I got the start:size partition values
from
my disk partition map which I included a little bit below also):

install_type initial_install
system_type  server
geo          N_America
locale       en_US
partitioning explicit
filesys      c0t0d0s0 0:1437160 swap
filesys      c0t0d0s1 1437160:10243888 /
filesys      c0t0d0s2 0:35368272 overlap
filesys      c0t0d0s3 11681048:21302952 /usr/local
filesys      c0t0d0s4 32984000:2049720 /var
cluster      SUNWCXall

I created a disk partition map file from the exact type of box I will be
setting up as 'man pfinstall' tells me to and the it looks like this:

* /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 partition map
*
* Dimensions:
*     512 bytes/sector
*     248 sectors/track
*      19 tracks/cylinder
*    4712 sectors/cylinder
*    7508 cylinders
*    7506 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
*   1: unmountable
*  10: read-only
*
* Unallocated space:
*       First     Sector    Last
*       Sector     Count    Sector
*    35203352    164920  35368271
*
*                          First     Sector    Last
* Partition  Tag  Flags    Sector     Count    Sector  Mount Directory
       0      3    01          0   1437160   1437159
       1      2    00    1437160  10243888  11681047
       2      5    00          0  35368272  35368271
       3      4    00   11681048  21302952  32983999
       4      7    00   32984000   2049720  35033719
       5      0    00   35033720     84816  35118535
       6      0    00   35118536     84816  35203351

Ok, that looks right.  I ftp it over to my install server and run
pfinstall.
I execute '/usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -d /jumpstart/<disk_file> -c
/export/install /jumpstart/<profile file>'.  The output looks like:

server {/jumpstart} # /usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -d
/jumpstart/netra_disk
-c
 /export/install /jumpstart/prof_netra

NOTE: The actual space required to hold the '/' file system may
be underestimated due to the use of a disk configuration file.

OK...  so where do I go from here?  It seems like it's not reading my
disk
map properly or something... It's gotta be something simple, but I am
kinda
stumped.  BTW, thanks for reading through this whole long thing, but I
wanted to include all the info possible :)

Thanks for any help or ideas!
