For example if AI uses SMF enhanced profile, it may not be triggered. If you look at the existing sysidcfg, there is a file called /etc/.UNCONFIGURE will be setup during the installation if the user interface to be run on the next reboot. > > needs #4: Is this user supplied profile what is generated from #3 > above? or #2?
