MU4 contains several patches that correct problems with Interactive Install and Custom JumpStart. If you have servers that support Solaris 7 Net Install, install the patches that correspond to the OS images located on the Net Install servers.

The patches affect the miniroot (the files located under Tools/Boot on the OS image) and are installed differently than other Solaris patches.
The miniroot is found on full Net Install servers and Boot servers. You must patch the miniroot in both locations. If you patch a Net Install server and subsequently make a Boot server from it using the setup_install_server command, the new Boot server incorporates the patch applied to the Net Install server.
To install the patches:
Change directory to the Net Install patches directory.
From a local copy of the MU4 image, type:
# cd local_directory/Solaris_7_MU4/platform/Patches/netinstall_patches |
From the MU4 CD, type:
# cd /cdrom/Solaris_7_MU4/platform/Patches/netinstall_patches |
where platform is either sparc or i386
Install the patches using the following command:
# patchadd -C path_to_OS_image/Solaris_2.7/Tools/Boot -M . patchlist |
