Dear Managers,

I have a problem with my JS/Flash install. I have no problem with my JS
but this is my first attempt with Flash install. I have created a
compressed system image ( a stable Sol 8 with meta devices) using
flarcreat command. JS installs fine using flash image, but problem starts
during the reboot:

Installing boot information

- Installing boot blocks (c1t0d0s0)

Installation log location

- /a/var/sadm/system/logs/install_log (before reboot)

- /var/sadm/system/logs/install_log (after reboot)

Flash installation complete

Executing JumpStart postinstall phase...

Executing finish script "Finish_scripts/v240-2048mb-flash-inst.driver"...

Starting finish script: clean_temp_files.sh

Finish script Finish_scripts/v240-2048mb-flash-inst.driver execution completed.

The finish script log 'finish.log'

is located in /var/sadm/system/logs after reboot.

skipping system dump - no dump device configured

rebooting...

My questions are;
1. My imgae was created from meta a system that has meta devices, therefore do I have to install SDS pakages
before the reboot?
2. Can JS install from the compressed image or do I have to use un-compressed imgae?
3. Has anyone come accross this before?

I will summarize

Thanks
San
Thanks
