press Return. Respond to any prompts that are displayed.
Two packages are associated with SunFDDI/P. They contain the device
drivers and utilities used to manage your SunFDDI/P station.

To Install the Device Driver

(SUNWpfr)

The

SUNWpfr

package contains the SunFDDI/P device driver and the SunNet

Manager agent daemon and start-up scripts. By default, the base directory
for this package is

/

. You can change the default base directory for

this package when you start

pkgadd(1M)

with the

—R

option. This package

must be installed on every machine that runs SunFDDI/P.

An installation script is executed automatically when you install the
SunFDDI/P device driver (

SUNWpfr

). This script checks that the hardware is

installed and displays the number of SunFDDI/P interfaces that it finds. If
there is no hardware installed, the script halts the installation process without
installing the software.

1. Indicate whether you are installing the driver for a diskless client.

Type

y

if you want to install the driver in the

/export/root

/ file

system for a diskless client

Type

n

if you are installing the driver for the machine on which you are

running the script. You must use

pkgadd

with the

—R

option to change the

base directory when you install the driver for a diskless client.
