Booting on different CPU's

Hi,

My company produces a product that consists of Tru64, Oracle, TeMIP(Compaq
product) and software of our own. Everything is very troublesome to install
(except for Tru64 of course :-) but the installations are terribly similar,
ie. they are quite the same.

So, I would like to make one 9(or 18)Gb disk with everythinhg on it, strange
partitioning, as follows:
a- root
b- swap
c- usr
d- var
e- oracle
f- oracle
g- oracle
h- our software

With AdvFS Utilities it is then possible to 'addvol' another partition to
eg.: /var and then rmvol the original one. This means that it is possible to
just put the disk into the system and then afterwards (when the system is up
and running, that is..) populate the other disks.

As I see it, I need a homeground tool that can adjust the hostname and IP
addr of the machine (put it into /etc/hosts, tnsnames and so on) and that
can enter the correct lmf licenses.

And now to the question.

Such a pre-made system disk. How many different systems would I expect it to
work on ? Would I need to make one for DS seroies, one for ES series or is
the kernel today so flexible that it just boots on everything ?

I am aware that customizations have to be made to /etc/sysconfigtab (eg.: to
use the actual size of memory)
