I was thinking of a possibility to specify the hostname and ip number on the bootprompt when AutoYast is about to start. I don't know how many characters can be specified at the boot promp, but it seems a good alternative to the above 2. I hope this is possible and can be made part of AutoYast.
Yes, it is possible. Please take a loook at http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/autoyast2/invoking.html
It was actually the above table that made me ask this question. I found the IP number keyword this time, but I did not find any reference to the host- or sysname keyword. - Did I overlook it? no - Is it missing from the table/documentation, but is it just working? no - Anything else?
I could not find a reference to the host- or sysname keyword either :(
There is no hostname keyword. According to your problem description i understand that you need this to boot and auto-install a machine by specifying the network information on the command line rather than using a DHCP server which you cant change. The information specified in the documentation is enough to accomplish this. You can specify IP, Nameserver, Netmask etc. and this is enough to drive the installation. Regarding the hostname it has to be set using the networking resource (See: http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/autoyast2/createprofile.network.html#...) or use the configuration system (/sbin/yast2 autoyast) to specify any information regarding final network settings that the host has to get. Is this what you want or is it something else? Regards, Anas
