Local File

You can retrieve an archive that you stored in the miniroot from which you booted the clone system as a local file. When you perform a custom JumpStart installation, you boot the system from a CD-ROM or an NFS-based miniroot. The installation software is loaded and run from this miniroot. Therefore, a Web Start Flash archive that you stored in the CD-ROM or NFS-based miniroot is accessible as a local file. Use the following syntax for the archive_location keyword.

archive_location local_file path/filename 

In this command line:

• path is the location of the archive. The path must be accessible to the system as a local file while the system is booted from the Solaris 8 Installation CD. The system cannot access /net when it is booted from the Solaris 8 Installation CD.

• filename is the name of the Web Start Flash archive file.

Examples:

archive_location local_file /archives/usrarchive

Or

archive_location local_file:/archives/usrarchive
