3.2 Net-Install of Solaris 2.4 Over the
hme
Interface
This section is only applicable if you are installing Solaris 2.4 on a net-install
client system over the SunFastEthernet Adapter (
hme
) interface.
Note – The Solaris 2.4 CD-ROM cannot be used to perform a net-install (read
only), thus the Solaris 2.4 CD image archive is required to update certain
SunFastEthernet Adapter files.
Updating the Solaris 2.4 Archive to Use the
hme
Interface
1. Determine the directory where the CD image is located on the boot server.
For example, if the Solaris software is located within a directory named
DIR, change to the root partition of the client being installed by typing:
The /
etc/bootparams
file will point you to the client’s root partition.
2. Edit the
name_to_major
file by adding an entry for the SunFastEthernet
Adapter device (
hme
).
If the major device number for the last file entry is
n
then use
n+1
for the
hme
channel major device number. As shown in the example below, if the
last entry for the major device number is
108
, use
109
for the
hme
device.
3. Copy the
hme
driver from the SunFastEthernet Adapter 2.1 CD-ROM to
the client’s root partition as follows:
4. On the client system, perform the tasks in Section 3.5.3, “Booting From
the Network Using Solaris 2.4.”
# cd DIR/export/exec/kvm/
# llcl 107
# audiocs 108
# hme 109
# cp /cdrom/sunfast_2_1/2.4/SUNWhmdl/reloc/kernel/drv/hme \
