# installadm create-client -b console=ttya -n osol -t /ai/osol-1002-118-ai-x86 -e <client_mac_addr> Note that because of bug 5721, the installed system won't automatically have its console redirected to ttya. To workaround this, after the installation completes, but before the reboot, edit the /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst file and disable graphics boot by removing the splashimage, background, and foreground lines, and change 'console=graphics' to 'console=ttya' thanks, -ethan > > On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 11:37 PM, Asif Iqbal<vadud3 at gmail.com> wrote: > >> ai install is failing to install osol on x2100 and giving me the grub >> me with this >> >> OpenSolaris 2009.06 >> >> and when I select it I get the following error >> >> Booting 'OpenSolaris 2009.06 ' >> >> kernel$ /I86PC.OpenSolaris-7/platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B >> install_media=http://208.47.0.94:5555/export/home/iqbala/osol-0906-ai-x86,install_service=osolx86,install_svc_address=208.47.0.94:46501,livemode=text >> loading '/I86PC.OpenSolaris-7/platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B >> install_media=http://208.47.0.94:5555/export/home/iqbala/osol-0906-ai-x86,install_service=osolx86,install_svc_address=208.47.0.94:46501,livemode=text' >> ... >> cpu: 'AuthenticAMD' family 15 model 7 step 1 >> [BIOS accepted mixed-mode target setting!] >> module /I86PC.OpenSolaris-7/x86.microroot >> >> Error 20: Multiboot kernel must be loaded before modules >> >> Press any key to continue... >> >> when I press any key I get back to grub >> >> I am getting looped between the above grub and error. >> >> How do I fix it ?
