Subject: how to install from CD 2?

    hi -

    I am 99% done with the install on a Sparc 10 ... after a slight
    modification of the tftp setup in /etc/inetd.conf.

    I went through installing the 84 packages for the minimum install -
    leaving the SMP kernel to be installed on CD 2.

    Here's the problem -

    How do I get the kernel installed from CD 2... when I have /cdrom
    from an x86 machine mounted via nfs?

    I tried stopping the nfs server on the x86 machine, unmounting /cdrom,
    inserting CD 2, restarting nfs server, etc... but I get a complaint to the
    effect that the CD id/label doesn't match (It knows I switched the
    CD... and doesn't like it)

    I can start the install again... and get to the point where it tells me I
    only have one more package (pads - kernel, etc...) and it politely asks me
    if I want to install it - but I can't figure out how to get it onto the
    system... since I don't actually have a CD on the Sun.

    Any hints would be greatly appreciated ;-)

    - Jason
