[SunRescue] BIND for Solaris 2.6

>To setup a Solaris install server is pretty easy:

>4. There is a script in there called "setup_install_server", run that script

Okay

Okay, I tried my /etc/ethers entry both ways, also with /etc/hosts the same way as well.
I don't have enough HD space on the machine to copy the CD-ROM, so it'd have to be
installed just off the cd-rom.

The error I get is:

# ./add_install_client lebanon sun4c
Error: Ethernet number for lebanon not found.
#

and here's /etc/ethers

# cat /etc/ethers
8:0:20:9:4f:ec  lebanon
#


Any suggestions?
