Note – You should have an alias (usually net) in OBP for the proper network
interface. Use that alias with the boot(1M) command, as shown in the example
above. Otherwise, you must type in the complete OBP device path. If you specify an
alias (or path) that does not describe the proper network interface, the boot(1M)
command will fail, and you will have to bring up the domain again.
If you install the operating system on a drive other than the one designated as the
boot drive, the suninstall utility displays a warning message similar to the
following:
Warning
You have an invalid disk configuration because of the condition(s)
displayed in the window below. Errors should be fixed to ensure a
successful installation. Warnings can be ignored without causing
the installation to fail.
> To go back and fix errors or warnings, select Cancel.
> To accept the error conditions or warnings and continue with the
installation, select Continue.
WARNING: The boot disk is not selected or does not have a "/" mount
point (c0t3d0)
You can safely ignore this warning and press F2 to continue.
The boot net command starts the suninstall utility. This utility prompts you to
provide site and platform-specific information. Refer to the following table for the
platform-specific information you may need to supply. If you have questions about
the suninstall utility, refer to the Installation Instructions for Solaris 7 11/99
