GRUB preparation
This section describes GRUB menu configuration file preparation for use in deploying Solaris. For
more information about GRUB, see GRUB and the Solaris 10 1/06: The New Bootloader for x86
Platforms and GNU GRUB Manual 0.97 at
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html .
Overview of GRUB preparation
When GRUB loads, it scans for a configuration file that usually contains the definition of the menu that
GRUB should display. Each menu item is associated with a series of GRUB commands that GRUB
executes when that menu option is selected. For Solaris, the GRUB configuration file is usually named
menu.lst.
The easiest way to create a custom configuration file is to use the menu.lst from the Solaris media
as a template. This list is on the DVD or the first CD, or under the installation media root directory on
the install server, as .../boot/grub/menu.lst. Each title line defines a menu option, and the
commands that follow the title line are the commands that GRUB executes when that menu option is
selected.
NOTE: For commands in menu.lst, each command list is implicitly terminated with a boot
command. When entering commands manually at the GRUB command line, the boot command
must be explicitly given.
To boot a Solaris miniroot, the Solaris multiboot program and miniroot module must be loaded. To
boot into a network deployment, the proper boot options for installation media location and JumpStart
configuration must be provided.
The following sections describe the various boot options and provide examples.
