Hi everyone,

I'm trying to do a Solaris 10 upgrade on an Ultra 60 system with 9 
currently installed.

The process goes fine during the intitial phase entering system config 
data but as soon as the install process tries to move on, it's giving an 
error and refusing to continue.

The error message printed in the install console window is:

---- start ----

runCmd error in /usr/sbin/sysidput with output:
Unable to run cmd: /usr/sbin/sysidput
No sysidcfg found

---- stop ----

Any ideas what causes this and how to work around it? Looks like a utility 
application is missing, but is it missing in the existing Solaris 9 
installation or the Solaris 10 installation being run off the Solaris 10 
1-of-4 CD?

Thanks,

Craig.
