Hi there, I am using PXE/DHCP/Jumpstart to install my SunFire X4100 x86
boxes and I wanted to ask a quick question
I set everything up and then boot the target machine , I then press F12
to boot from the network .....it goes ahead and picks up its DHCP
address, then GRUB menu loads and gives one option "Solaris 10
Jumpstart" ....this is all fine up to now until a minute or so later,
this menu (below) comes up and I have to press "2", If I miss it, it
will default to Solaris Interactive and I have to do the whole blasted
process again. PS, everything is fine after I press 2 but its just
annoying having to do it everytime
See menu below..........

Somebody said that this can be automated in the GRUB menu, but im not
sure how ?, this is my current GRUB menu file ...

module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/x86.miniroot
I have edited the IP's for obvious security reasons
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
