I think there are at least two bugs (?) in the package's
install/postinstall:
1. it uses "add_drv -b / ...". The use of the "-b" option
prevents attaching of the driver - you must reboot to get the
driver attached. It would be better not to use "-b /" if the
package's installation destination directory is the local machine
($BASEDIR == "/").
2. Why does SUNWiwi/install/postinstall use this contruct:
ARCH=`uname -p`
if [ ${ARCH} = "i386" ]
then
check_add_drv -i '"pci8086,4220" "pci8086,4223"' -b "$BASEDIR" iwi
fi
So it uses -b "$BASEDIR" to allow installation of the package on a server for
a diskless client. Cool.
But why do we need to check that the (server!) ARCH is i386? Doesn't that
prevent installing the driver on a SPARC server (for diskless clients)?
