Deploying Solaris OS 9 Update 7 or Previous Distributions From a Linux OS Management Server Fails

The inability to deploy Solaris OS 9 Update 7 and previous Solaris OS 9 distributions to manageable servers from a Linux OS management server is usually due to a problem with NFS mounts. To solve this problem, you need to apply a patch to the mini-root of the Solaris OS 9 distribution. The instructions differ according to the management and patch server configuration scenarios listed in the following table. The patch is not required if you are deploying Solaris OS 9 Update 8 or later.
