Booting a Diskless Client Running the Solaris 2.4 Operating Environment

22
In order to boot a diskless client with a local Sun Quad FastEthernet SBus
Adapter interface (hme) on a Solaris 2.4 operating environment, the following
tasks must be performed on the boot server.
1. Go to your client's root partition by typing the following:
# cd /export/root/<client name>/etc
2. Search the /etc/name_to_major file for FastEthernet (hme) entries.
# grep hme /etc/name_to_major
If your system already has a FastEthernet (hme) device installed on your
system (for example, if your system contains a SunFastEthernet SBus
Adapter 2.0), skip to Step 4.
3. If the /etc/name_to_major file does not contain a FastEthernet (hme)
entry, add an entry for the Sun Quad FastEthernet SBus Adapter device
(hme).
If the major device number for the last file entry is n, use n+1 for the hme
channel major device number. As shown in the example below, if the last
entry for the major device number is 108, use 109 for the hme device.
# llcl 107
# audiocs 108
# hme 109
4. Mount the Sun QuadFastEthernet Driver Software CD-ROM.
See "Mounting the CD-ROM," on page 12 for more information.
