Last few days I’m working on debugging the Solaris 10 Jumpstart install for some old desktops (Ultra 10, Ultra 60).
Among few well-known problems, I’ve noticed such an anomaly: the whole Jumpstart session happens just fine, all the packages are installed, but at the very end I see the errors and the installation fails:
SUNWspnego.......................done. 1.30 Mbytes remaining. SUNWsra..........................done. 1.18 Mbytes remaining. SUNWsrh..........................done. 1.00 Mbytes remaining. Completed software installation Solaris 10 software installation succeeded Customizing system files - Mount points table (/etc/vfstab) - Unselected disk mount points (/var/sadm/system/data/vfstab.unselected) - Network host addresses (/etc/hosts) ERROR: Could not open file (/etc/hosts) ERROR: Could not set up the remote host file (/etc/hosts) ERROR: System installation failed
