Hello, I am new to kickstarts, having spent a lot of time working with Solaris jumpstarts and HP ignite. Our UNIX environment is mostly fixed-IPs, and so our network based kickstarts will also avoid DHCP. Toward that end, I'm using network --bootproto bootp in ks.cfg We already have processes in place that allow our techs to map a hardware address to an IP address on our bootp servers. The thing is, on our Suns, its relatively easy to get the MAC address. Is there a way I can get anacanda to spit out the ethernet card's MAC address early in the boot process (i.e. before the boot: prompt) Feel free to flame me with the "obvious" place in the docs where I should have seen this :-) Thanks for any and all help... -- Jim Barbour --- Staff Engineer, Systems Programmer/Administrator ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office: 858-651-2616 "Standing next to me in this lonely crowd Pager: 800-200-6068 There's a man who swears he's not to blame.
