Re: No late binding for static methods

Only the sale class has a showAdvertisement() method.

When the compiler compiles that class it decides at compile time which exact method is called for each static method call (that's the big difference to non-static method calls: the exact method to be called is only decided at runtime in those cases).

There's only one method showAdvertisement() and that is called in both cases in your code. Since that single method always calls the same static announcement() method, you will see the result you posted.

Moin!

I did also download the most recent (DVD) ISO did a setup_install_server
and didn't have that problem. I did however skip the burn step and instead
mounted the ISO directly via loopback devices:

# lofiadm -a /jumpstart/OS/isos/sol-10-u2-ga-sparc-dvd.iso
/dev/lofi/7
# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/7 /mnt/10u2

When looking at the files system of this mount the Boot directory is not
linked and as said the setup_install_server worked fine.

Hope this helps

Correct. The CD is a bit low on space, so the boot files are only present in a SPARC UFS filesystem (necessary so the CD is bootable). The x86 box won't read that filesystem (either from CD or from an image).

You'd need to either build at least one SPARC machine, mount the CD there, then copy the files over to the x86 box.

Or as mentioned, use the DVD image. The space there allows the boot code to be duplicated in two places so the x86 box can read it.
