I just found out that the boot files are copied correctly. It is just missing the pxegrub loader from the install media.

e.g.

cp /Solaris/install/Solaris_5.10_i386_hw0811/boot/grub/pxegrub /var/lib/tftpboot/Solaris-5.10-hw0811-pxegrub

If possible change this ticket to a feature rather than a bug.

Hi,

I just poked around in the solaris-os class and I'm not sure if the path used in the class is correct.

The solaris-os-class looks for e.g. /some/path/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot
As far as I can see the files (especially pxegrub) is a symlink:

pxegrub -> ../../../boot/grub/pxegrub

Maybe it would be better to simply use /some/path/boot/ as source for the pxegrub-stuff?

Sounds good. There is another problem I have when deploying solaris maybe you know. Puppet and Facter are not installed automatically. I'm not sure but in the prov templdate there is a line:

/usr/bin/cp /var/pkg-get/admin-fullauto /var/pkg-get/admin > /dev/null

this should install pkg-get?

Regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

I just took a deeper look at the provisioning template of solaris.

# Now ensure that we have the newest puppet and facter installed
/usr/bin/cp /var/pkg-get/admin-fullauto /var/pkg-get/admin > /dev/null
/opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -U
/opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -u -f CSWfacter CSWpuppet

For me facter and puppet are installed (or upgraded) in the 2 lines below the one you've posted.
I guess the problem is that pkgutil asks you to install dependencies. On my SPARC testmachine, the only one I have with pkgutil, this is happening when I execute:
/opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -u -f CSWfacter CSWpuppet

root@sv2341:~# /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -u -f CSWfacter CSWpuppet
