SUMMARY: Jumpstart x86 Solaris 10 systems

2007-12-25 5:33:00

As many pointed out, I was missing the
/tftpboot/01<MAC_ADDR>.bootenv.rc file. IF the file is there with
the right lines:

setprop input-device 'ttya'
setprop output-device 'ttya'

The system will have the changes after the jumpstart.

Thanks to everyone who helped.
