4.3.2 Building a New Kernel
The following instructions are a supplement to the instructions in Chapter 8,
“Administering Workstations,” in the SunOS manual, “System and Network
Administration.”
You can use the script install_hme on the client machine to configure a new
kernel containing a linkable driver for the SunFastEthernet Adapter.
Depending upon the size of the kernel on which you are basing the new
kernel, you need about 2 Mbytes of free space in your root partition. You can
use the install script to build a new kernel for each client individually. Follow
the directions in Section 4.2, “Installing from the CD-ROM.”
If you have a lot of diskless clients, installing the clients one by one may not be
practical. You can build the kernels manually by following the steps below.
SYS is assumed to be the directory where you build kernels for your diskless
client. Use whatever path is right for you in place of SYS .
1. Type:
2. Add the following lines to SYS/sun4m/conf/files :
3. Add the following lines to the configuration file that you use for building
diskless client kernels:
# cp /usr/HME/sys/sunif/* SYS/sunif
# cp /usr/HME/sys/sun4m/OBJ/* SYS/sun4m/OBJ
# cp SYS/sun4m/conf/files SYS/sun4m/conf/files.prehme
