Deployment tasks 30
Examples: booting Solaris from GRUB
NOTE: In the following examples, the kernel line is shown broken into multiple lines. In practice, the
parameters must all be on the same line, and there must not be any spaces in the comma-separated
-B parameter list.
• For a JumpStart installation when PXE booting:
title Solaris 10 JumpStart Install (PXE boot)
kernel multiboot kernel/unix - install
-B install_media=10.10.10.10:/export/home/install,
install_config=10.10.10.10:/jumpstart,
sysid_config=10.10.10.10:/jumpstart
module x86.miniroot
• For a JumpStart installation with ISO boot or Rapid Deployment Pack, using the first network
interface to receive a DHCP response:
title Solaris 10 JumpStart Install (ISO boot/RDP)
kernel /multiboot kernel/unix – install
-B install_media=10.10.10.10:/export/home/install,
install_config=10.10.10.10:/jumpstart,
sysid_config=10.10.10.10:/jumpstart,
netstrategy=any:dhcp
module /x86.miniroot
• For an interactive network installation, booting from ISO, using a specific network interface (bnx0 in
this example) with DHCP:
title Solaris 10 Interactive Install (ISO boot)
kernel /multiboot kernel/unix
-B install_media=10.10.10.10:/export/home/install,
netstrategy=bnx0:dhcp
module /x86.miniroot
