Sun has recently published an article on how to install the latest Kernel Update (KU) patch, or any patch, to a post-GRUB x86 based miniroot image for the JumpStart installation programme.
In some cases, Sun provides hardware support through driver patches. These driver patches are released to suport third-party hardware, but they can also enable the installation of a particular release of Solaris on newer hardware without necessitating the re-engineering of that particular Solaris release. The procedure will require the installation of a particular driver patch. And most often, the process involves installing the latest KU patch for the OS in question.
This article describes how to patch an x86 GRUB miniroot image to create a modified GRUB based miniroot that contains the latest KU. The version of Solaris that is used in the artice is the Solaris 10 1/06 release, which is the same release that introduced GRUB-based booting on x86 based systems (Note: you can use this procedure for all subsequent Solaris 10 releases that implement GRUB-based booting).
