Hello,


I am trying to boot x86 solaris 10 8/07 via a system running fed7 and
syslinux 3.62.  

 

If I use pxelinux I get the kernel to boot but it doesn't load my
network drivers for the Broadcom II nic.  I rebuilt the kernel
(x86.miniroot) for solaris with the Broadcom nic drivers but it still
didn't work.

 

I read some stuff where people were using pxegrub and booting pxegrub.0
but that didn't work for me. 

 

I setup /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default to-

 

LABEL Solaris x86

                kernel pxegrub.0

 

I get in.tftpd[19579]: tftp: client does not accept options and nothing
happens??

 

I have /tftpboot/menu.lst01001c23d089c7 with the correct info but it
doesn't boot or load??

 

#pragma ident   "@(#)install_menu       1.1     05/09/01 SMI"

#

default=0

timeout=0

title Solaris Jumpstart

                kernel /tftpboot/solaris/multiboot kernel/unix -B
install_config=10.32.2.55:/jumpstart/Jump10x,sysid_config=10.32.2.55:/ju
mpstart/
Jump10x/config,install_media=10.32.2.55:/jumpstart/Jump10x,install_boot=
10.32.2.55:/jumpstart/Jump10x/boot

                kernel / tftpboot/solaris/x86.miniroot

 

Anyone have success or insight on this? 


Thanks in advance,

Anthony
