Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
For Solaris 2.0-2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or
the README within the patch for instructions on using the generic
'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with each patch.
 
For Solaris 7-10 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions
on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
       example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
NOTE 1:  To get the fixes contained in this patch, this patch must
         be applied to the Miniroot, which is located in the Boot
         directory on Net Install servers and Boot servers.
 
         The Miniroot needs to be patched on the Net Install server
         and on all Boot servers that have already been created
         from the Net Install server.
 
         Please also note that a patched Net Install server will
         create patched Boot servers.  In other words, if you patch
         a Net Install server, and subsequently make a Boot server
         from it by using the 'setup_install_server' command, the
         newly-created Boot server will incorporate the patch applied
         to the Net Install server.
 
         Use 'patchadd -C' for this patch, rather than the generic
         invocation.
 
           Example:
 
                  # patchadd -C <path_to_miniroot> <patchid>
 
           Remove the Miniroot patch using something similar to:
 
                  # patchrm -C <path_to_miniroot>  <patchid>
 
           where path_to_miniroot is <top_of_image_tree>/Solaris_<9,10,...>/Tools/Boot
 
NOTE 2:  To get the complete fix for bugid 4716085 (sysid.net: remove
         -trailers flag from ifconfig statement), please also install
         the following patch:
 
         120200-01 (or greater)  sysidtool Patch
 
NOTE 3:  To get the complete fix for bugid 5009917 (initial boot of zone
         arbitrarily imposes minimum hostname length of 2 chars), please
         also install the following patch:
 
         119253-06 (or greater)  System Administration Applications Patch
 
NOTE 4:  To get the complete fix for bugid 4692667 (SUNWcsr, SUNWkrbr,
         SUNWnisr pkgchk errors after flash install), please also install
         the following patch:
 
         119253-05 (or greater)  System Administration Applications Patch
 
NOTE 5:  To get the complete fix for bugid 6301206 (unable to deploy
         single file >2gb size in differential flash archive), please
         also install the following patches:
 
         119535-05 (or greater)  Flash Archive patch

         following patch:

         119535-09 (or greater)  Flash Archive Patch
 
NOTE 10: This patch includes the fix for bugid 6431490 (Ashanti upgrade
         should add the new and uprev'ed packages last in the process)
         which partly fixes the pkgcond command so that it will inherit
         the $ROOTDIR variable when being invoked from within a patch-level
         script.  [See also bugids 6452983 (pkgcond is not accessing ROOTDIR
         in patch scripts) and 6425837 (pkgcond is_netinstall_image is not
         working).]  To get the complete fix, please also install the
         following patch:
 
         119255-28 (or greater)  Install and Patch Utilities Patch
