That then begs the question of how driver updates would be added to a

Our OEM partners, especially HP and DELL, have typically sold RAID
controller options
that lack a device driver on Solaris boot media. Some form of
boot-time/install-time
driver update mechanism is critical to permit a driver to be loaded that
would permits
the disks to be see by the installer.
If we can not support ITU in time for S11, then a less happy work-around
is telling those
customers how to create a customized AI netinstall image. If this is
true, then I need
to be told, so we can make it a priority project for Update 1 to devise
a suitable
Driver Update mechanism.
Comments?
As Dave said, itu is ultimately not the right answer.
Use of distribution constructor for drivers that have to be in the
install image (and addition of the package to an AI manifest?) is the
right one.
