Hi everyone.
Problem solved.
We ended up doing something similar to what was done for the old
installer. Changes from what I sent out yesterday are:
- The manifest depends on milestone/single-user now, not
system/filesystem/minimal.
- The 'need_session' propval was added to the startd property group.
Value is 'true'
- The lib/svc/method file is now bypassed, and the manifest calls the
menu script directly.
Another part of the puzzle was that I was running a changed file of a
different name. I changed the manifest to refer to the new file, but
did not re-import the changed manifest, so the repository kept running
the old file :(
Revised files attached.
Thanks to Tony Nguyen for his help!
Thanks,
Jack
