I've used catalyst in the past to build ISOs for both the x86 and PPC |
| 2 |
platforms. I'm now turning my attention to SPARC, and I'm running into an |
| 3 |
issue that wasn't ever a problem for me on x86 or PPC. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I can't seem to get my SPARC CD to automatically log in as root upon boot |
| 6 |
up. With x86 and PPC, I didn't have to do anything special at all; it just |
| 7 |
happened. With SPARC, however, auto-login tries and tries repeatedly |
| 8 |
(thanks, I'm guessing to a "respawn" flag in /etc/inittab) without success. |

|

My first question is why would this behavior be any different on SPARC than |
| 11 |
it is on x86/PPC? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
My second question is what can I do to fix it? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I've added lines to my fsscript.sh file that do appear to be getting applied |
| 16 |
to the file system, but they aren't solving the problem. The changes I'm |
| 17 |
making using my fsscript.sh are as follows: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
* In /etc/inittab, replace |
| 20 |
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
with |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin root --noclear tty1 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* Change /sbin/rc so that rather than |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
ebegin "Updating inittab" |
| 29 |
livecd_fix_inittab |
| 30 |
eend $? |
| 31 |
/sbin/telinit q &>/dev/null |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
it contains |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
ebegin "Updating inittab" |
| 36 |
/bin/true |
| 37 |
eend $? |
| 38 |
/bin/true |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Am I totally on the wrong track? |
| 42 |
|

Thanks, |
