- How To Install Solaris 10
Active5 years, 9 months ago
We had a power outage last weekend that seems to have done some very bad things to one of our x86 Solaris machines. It is refusing to boot, and dropping me to the 'grub>' prompt when started. I can get it to recognize the multiboot kernel and module, and it will try to start booting, but it hangs almost immediately. These are the commands I'm entering and their results:
After I issue the boot command, the terminal tries to clear, the cursor goes back to top-left, and I see this on the top line:
and then the whole system hangs.
It's been long enough since I've poked Solaris that I have no idea what to do next to try and get this beast booted - can anyone give me some advice on where to go / what to try next?

On x86, you need to run xorgconfig (I think that its) to setup X correctly. As I remember it (its been a little bit since I've installed Solaris 10 on a X86 platform), the installation process uses the Sun Xserver which uses kdmconfig for its configuration. With Solaris 10, can I use jumpstart to partially define the system and have the installer then prompt the user for anything else? This would be like the kickstart file behaviour for RHEL's Anaconda install system, anything which hasn't been declared in the kickstart file will be prompted for. /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk. Is the boot block code. /dev/rdsk/cwtxdys0 Is the raw device of the root (/) file system.For more information, see installboot(1M). Verify that the boot blocks are installed by rebooting the system to run level 3. How to Quickly Install the Solaris 10 OS on x86 Systems. During the boot process, eject the media and the system will boot from the hard disk using the freshly installed Solaris 10 image.

My setup is: install server OS: Solaris 10, i86pc. The install server is also boot server using tftpboot. The dhpc server is configured according to the instructions which are given when adding an install client in Solaris 10. The client can communicate with the install and boot server but fails to load the boot image.

For ufs file system

2) Mount the root file system to /a, e.g:
3)Install grub and update the boot_archive file on your boot disks:
4) update the boot_archive via bootadm command:
if you using zfs file system

This is a common problem on Solaris x86/64. Looks like the
boot_archive
is in an inconsistent state thanks to an ungraceful shutdown. Since PC hardware doesn't have Sun/Oracle's OpenBoot, it's emulated in software. The boot_archive
contains that information. Instructions on fixing the
