SPARC: Example--Creating a Boot Server on a Subnet

The following example illustrates how to create a boot server on a subnet by copying the boot software from the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition CD image to /export/install/boot on the system's local disk, and then copying the Solaris 8 Software 2 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition, Solaris 8 Languages SPARC Platform Edition, and Solaris 8 Installation Multilingual SPARC Platform Edition CDs to the install server's /export/install/boot directory:

# cd /cdrom/sol_8_sparc#2/s0/Solaris_8/Tools
# ./setup_install_server -b /export/install/boot
# cd /cdrom/sol_8_sparc_2#1/Solaris_8/Tools
# ./add_to_install_server /export/install/boot
# cd /cdrom/sol_8_lang_sparc#2/Tools
# ./add_to_install_server /export/install/boot
# cd /cdrom/en_icd_sol_8_sparc/s0
# ./modify_install_server /export/install/boot /cdrom/en_icd_sol_8_sparc/s2

In this example, each CD is inserted and automatically mounted before and removed after each of the commands shown above.
