I don't think I need to run the xvfb server, because we aren't doing 
Applets.

PREP:  Save sshd keys.

Need tftp, SUNWbsr, SUNWbsu, SUNWmdb, SUNWmdbx packages installed

Making aegir into a Jumpstart/Boot server today.

Put v1 and v2 images where have room.
Make them mountable according to
http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/mount-cdrom.html (modified)
    mkdir /mount/point/s0 /mount/point/s1
    lofiadm -a /abs/path/*.iso
    mount -o ro -F hsfs <path from previous command> /mont/point/s0
    Find out the 512 byte offset of slice 1 by running "fdisk -l file.iso"
     on Linux and calculating (512 blocks/cylinder) * start of *.iso2 device.
     (IT IS 651520 for my u7 10/84... I think... CDs)
    dd if=cd1.iso of=/tmp/cd1.s1.img iseek=<number from prev command>
    lofiadm -a /tmp/cd1.s1.img
    mount -o ro -F ufs <path from previous command> /mount/point/s1 

mkdir /usr/local/jumpstart
The whole Jumpstart tree will eventually hold 1.35G.

cd /mount/point/s0/Solaris_9/Tools
./setup_install_server /path/to/js

Umount and remove the lofi block devices
    umount /mount/point/s0
    umount /mount/point/s1
    lofiadm -d /abs/path/*.iso
    lofiadm -d /tmp/cd1.s1.img
    (Just run "lofiadm" to list the paths).

Mount the #2 CD.
    lofiadm -a /abs/path/*.iso
    mount -o ro -F hsfs <path from previous command> /mont/point/s0
    cd /mount/point/s0/Solaris_9/Tools
    ./add_to_install_server /usr/local/js
    umount... and lofiadm -d...

mkdir -m 755 /usr/local/js
add to /etc/dfs/dfstab
    share  -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /usr/local/js
shareall

======================================================================

ADD CLIENT

(See .../Solaris_9/Misc/jumpstart_sample dir for examples)
Put profile in place (my convention is <JS_HOME/profiles/<CLIENTNAME>.pro).
Put "rules" file into place at <JS_HOME>/rules.
Solaris_9/Mis/jumpstart_sample/check -p . (from jumpstart root dir).
Put sysidcfg file into place (file needs to be named "sysidcfg".  My
 convention is, a directory like <JS_HOME>/sysidcfgs/<CLIENTNAME>.
 (To make a new sysidcfg file, just copy an existing one, then set the
 default router IP addr and copy an encrypted root password from an
 /etc/shadow file).
    
    
    My profile uses 442M for original install.
    (postnote:  more than this now.  Added packages so we can use the smc GUI
    if we ever need to).
        After base OS install 480M: 466M /; 14M /var.
        After installation completed 1.3G: 1.2G /; .08G /var.
    (Platform name: "uname -i"; Platform group: "uname -m".  I think 
     non-multip-CPU Ultras are always group "sun4u).
    cd /usr/local/js/Solaris_9/Tools
    ./add_install_client -e eth_addr  \
        -c thisserver:/usr/local/js \
        -p thisserver:/usr/local/js/sysidcfgs/<cli>  \
        <client> <platformgroup>
    (-c arg specifies Jumpstart dir on the Profile Server (holds "rules"))
    (-p arg specifies the NFS sysidcfg directory)
    (manual does not explain the -e switch)
    (use numeric IP addr for "thisserver").
    I think that the -c args writes install_config= entries to
    /etc/bootparams.  Make sure the entry looks right.

IF ABORT, run rm_install_client.

Boot client like 
    boot net - install nowin

Logs will be at /var/sadm/system/logs after reboot.

First reboot will bitch about USB not finding stuff.  We don't care, since
we don't have USB hardware anyways.  This does not recur upon subsequent
bootups.



POST JUMPSTART.  Note that strategy is to change as little as possible until
after the OS patches are installed.
    login as root
    exec ksh or bash; set -o vi  # if you like
    mkdir /mnt/tmp
    mount 1.2.3.4:/path/to/js /mnt/tmp
    PATH=/mnt/tmp/postinstall:$PATH
    fixdns.bash
    fixssh.bash
    ppro-install.bash
    REPEAT this block until "smpatch" reports no errors
        exec reboot -- -s    # N.b.:  Don't "init s", because Solaris
                             # would skip the init script runs.*
        exec ksh or bash; set -o vi  # if you like
        /var/tmp/retry-patches.bash
        Repeat "retry-patches.bash" until it says you are finished.
        exit
        /usr/sadm/bin/smpatch update
    exec reboot -- -r  # Device trees get rebuilt upon bootup when necessary
                       # Ignore warnings about usb and sound devices.*
    exec ksh or bash; set -o vi  # if you like
    PATH=/mnt/tmp/postinstall:$PATH
    mount jsserver:/path/to/js /mnt/tmp
    fixenv.bash
    addlpkgs.bash
    secure.bash
    exec shutdown -y -g 0 -i 6


* I believe that any invocations of reboot, init, telinit skip the
  run-level scripts.  Must run
    shutdown -y -g 0 -i 6
  to execute the scripts.  Unfortunately, i don't think you can
  pass a bootup arg to OpenBoot with shutdown, therefore most of
  the reboots in this install procedure use "reboot".
