Hi All, I see that sparc.centos.org does not contain any ISO's so that I can install from CD. How does one install over the internet? I have never done it before. I assume use the boot.iso and make sure that I have DHCP turned on so that I get an IP automatically from my router? Any advice? -Jason
HI! Quoting Slack-Moehrle <mailinglists at mailnewsrss.com>:> I assume use the boot.iso and make sure that I have DHCP turned on > so that I get an IP automatically from my router?At bootpromt say "linux askmethod", and make your config (http://dokuwiki.nausch.org/doku.php?id=centos:centos_5_internetinstallation). O.K. The wiki is in German, but it should useful for your installation. For further support, say hello! ;) ttyl, Django -- "Bonnie & Clyde der Postmaster-Szene!" approved by Postfix-God http://wetterstation-pliening.info http://dokuwiki.nausch.org

But it would be awesome to get some traction around that and actually get it finished.> How does one install over the internet? I have never done it before.The first step is to get the installer images into the machine, and I dont think OBP will let you do that. You will need some sort of a local network based boot process. The one I use at home is semi-documented here : http://www.karan.org/blog/index.php/2008/03/01/network-booting-sparc-obp-machines I know some of the text is getting cut off on the right side of the post, need to do something about that :/ but you should be able to get most of the content. Also, as a matter of interest ( and to document it ) what sort of hardware are you installing to ? -- Karanbir Singh London, UK | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

I have never done it before. >older sparcs use a different network boot sequence than PCs, they do NOT use bootp or PXE. rather, they use RARP -> bootparam -> tftp ->. nfs Solaris refers to this process as jumpstart. at the openboot prompt ("Ok"), you simply enter `boot net`, the host does a RARP to get the bootparam server's IP, the bootparam service provides the host with the TFTP configuration information, and the host then gets the boot loader from tftp, and then this generally loads the rest of the OS from NFS.

I dont think there is any way to work around that. -- Karanbir Singh London, UK | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
