Hi Sriram, you actually got it finished??!!
I keep hitting this error:
Creating new privileged user for new boot env ...
Username: root
useradd -s /usr/bin/bash -b /export/home -g staff -m -R root -P "Primary
Administrator" root
./install_belenix: line 128: 18152 Bad System Call (core dumped)
chroot ${ROOT_DIR} sh -c "${cmd}"
Failed to add user ...
I have no idea why this might be happening....
Regards,
Kaya
