The initial default AI setup

A default installation of AI on X86, similarly to on SPARC, become as follows:

# installadm list

Service Name   Alias Of       Status  Arch   Image Path
------------   --------       ------  ----   ----------
default-i386   solaris11-i386 on      x86    /export/auto_install/solaris11-i386
solaris11-i386 -              on      x86    /export/auto_install/solaris11-i386

# installadm list -m


Service Name    Manifest      Status
------------    --------      ------
default-i386    orig_default  Default
solaris11-i386  orig_default  Default

# installadm list -m -n default-i386

Manifest      Status    Criteria
--------      ------    --------
orig_default  Default   None

# installadm list -m -n solaris11-i386


Manifest      Status    Criteria
--------      ------    --------
orig_default  Default   None
