x86: Specifying Boot Properties With add_install_client Command

This feature is new in the Solaris 9 4/04 release.

The add_install_client command now enables you to set boot properties for Solaris x86 clients during a PXE network boot. The -b option enables you to perform the following tasks with the add_install_client command.

• You can specify an alternate console to use during your network installation.

• You can specify the device to use as the network boot device during the installation.

• You can instruct the client to perform a fully automated custom JumpStart installation.
