To Set Up the Boot or Install Server
1. Become superuser on the host to be used as the boot or install server.
2. Use the
setup_install_server
(1M) command from the
Tools
directory in the
location where the Solaris software resides.
As shown in the following screen example, the
setup_install_server
command
copies the boot image to a directory on the boot or install server. (The boot directory
is named
/
original_OS_dir/Boot in the example.) The example shows the command
being run from the
Tools
directory on a mounted Solaris 8 installation CD.
Note –
This step might take 20 minutes or more to complete.
3. Download the driver packages and the accompanying
README
file from Sun’s
download center into the
/
export_public directory on the boot or install server.
a. Go to the download center URL specified in the instructions about how to
download the network adapter driver in the product notes.
b. Download the
README
file.
c. Remove any previously installed packages for this network adapter as
instructed in the
README

d. Download the packages as described in the instructions in the release notes.
e. Use the
uncompress
(1M) and
tar
(1M) commands to uncompress and expand
the packages in the
tar
file, as instructed in the
README
.
Caution –
Do not use the
pkgadd
(1M) command line that is given in the
README
