4. Use the

config

command to rebuild the system configuration files for the

diskless client. You can now copy the new kernel over to the diskless
clients.

You need to remember to add the SunFastEthernet Adapter interface names to

/etc/hosts

for each diskless client, and add the names of all the new

interfaces to NIS if you are using it. The name of the SunFastEthernet Adapter
interface will become the official host name for the diskless clients. If you do
not want this to happen, then use the SunFastEthernet Adapter install script to
do an install on one machine and copy the changes made to

/etc/rc.boot

to

the other diskless clients.
