After installing the OS, run the installation script provided on the Tools and Drivers DVD to install the drivers that correspond to your OS.
The Tools and Drivers DVD is included with your workstation.
The Tools and Drivers DVD also contains the tools to recreate and mount the diagnostic partition. You should not have to do this unless you accidentally erased it. See the Sun Ultra 27 Workstation Service Manual for details.
Log in to the system as superuser.
Insert the Tools and Drivers DVD into the DVD drive and type:
# cd /mountpoint/drivers/linux/operating_system
Where:
mountpoint is the directory to which the DVD is mounted.
operating_system is the type of Linux OS installed on the workstation.
If the DVD does not automount, open a terminal window and mount the DVD by typing the following command:
# mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mountpoint
Where mountpoint is the appropriate mount point for the OS and optical drive type.
For example:
# mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/dvdrom
Change to the /mountpoint/drivers/linux/operating_system directory.
Where:
mountpoint is the directory to which the DVD is mounted.
operating_system is the type of Linux OS installed on the workstation.
For example:
# cd /mnt/dvdrom/drivers/linux/red_hat
Run the installation script by typing the following command:
# ./install.sh
This script does not execute if the X server is running.
If the script exits and you receive an error message, perform the following procedure to disable the X server:
Eject the DVD after the driver installation is complete.
Reboot the workstation.
