Refer to the section "Customizing the BOS Install Program" in InfoExplorer for
more details about creating a

bosinst.data

file. You may want to customize it

for your system to get a no-prompt install, in which case you will need to set
more than is listed below (like

CONSOLE

and

PROMPT

)

2. Edit the

bosinst.data

so contains the following:

control_flow:

CONSOLE =
INSTALL_METHOD = overwrite
PROMPT = yes
EXISTING_SYSTEM_OVERWRITE = yes
INSTALL_X_IF_ADAPTER = yes
RUN_STARTUP = yes
RM_INST_ROOTS = no

ERROR_EXIT =
CUSTOMIZATION_FILE = cloner
TCB = no

INSTALL_TYPE =

BUNDLES =

target_disk_data:

LOCATION =

SIZE_MB =

HDISKNAME =

locale:

BOSINST_LANG = C
CULTURAL_CONVENTION = C
MESSAGES = en_US
KEYBOARD = en_US

3. Create the customization script,

cloner

as follows:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

set -x

RV= bootinfo -z
if [ "$RV" -eq 1 ]
then

installp -abcgXd/../SPOT/usr/sys/inst.images bos.rte.mp
ln -fs /usr/lib/boot/unix_mp /usr/lib/boot/unix

if [ "$RV" -eq ]
then

installp -abcgXd/../SPOT/usr/sys/inst.images bos.rte.up
ln -fs /usr/lib/boot/unix_up /usr/lib/boot/unix

devinstall -b -d /../SPOT/usr/sys/inst.images -f /../tmp/device.pkgs

cfgmgr -v -i /../SPOT/usr/sys/inst.images
