Some network parameters must be known by the client
when it first boots. The netmask and gateway can be supplied in the installation or RAM file system ([W|V|I]INSTALLFS).
You can do this by using the instl_adm command,
which has options to set the client’s netmask, gateway, Ignite-UX
/tftp server, and so on.
For example, you might want to set the keyboard language so
you are never prompted for it when booting from Ignite-UX. To do this,
first display the current configuration information and redirect it
to a temporary file for editing. Then, edit the file to include the
new configuration information. Finally, apply the new configuration
information from the temporary file.
In the following example, the keyboard language is set to PS2_DIN_US_English.
# instl_adm -d > /tmp/installfs.out
# echo '_hp_keyboard="PS2_DIN_US_English"' >> /tmp/installfs.out
# instl_adm -f /tmp/installfs.out |
