SPARC: Example—Creating a Boot Server on a Subnet

The following example illustrates how to create a boot server on a subnet. These commands copy 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.

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_8/Tools
# ./setup_install_server -b /export/install/boot

In this example, the CD is inserted and automatically mounted before you issue the command. After you issue the command, the CD is removed.
