Solaris 8 jumpstart/web start issues

Hello all!

I have setup jumpstart servers before in the past, using Solaris 2.6 and
7. They usually went pretty painlessly...

My problem is when I boot the client from the network, it goes directly to
this Web Start interactive install crap. It prompts me to format the root
device. It says it's using my sysidcfg file and ignores my profile that i
setup for the machine.

Why is it doing this? I'm pretty sure I have everything right, I have
tried reinstalling the whole jumpstart framework (I orginally thought it
was the way the jumpstart server was setup).

THe jumpstart server is just a single machine, the setup is simple.

Here isthe contents of my sysidcfg file:

Thu May 9 12:34:01 (/jumpstart/Sysidcfg)
root@barbrady # cat sysidcfg
system_locale=en_US
install_locale=en_US
timeserver=localhost
timezone=US/Eastern
network_interface=hme0 {netmask=255.255.255.0}
name_service=NONE

Here isthe contents of the simple test profile:

Thu May 9 12:35:26 (/jumpstart/Profiles)
root@barbrady # cat test.profile
install_type initial_install
system_type standalone
root_device c0t0d0s0
partitioning explicit
filesys rootdisk.s0 4096 swap
filesys rootdisk.s1 free /
filesys rootdisk.s2 1500 /var
filesys rootdisk.s3 10000 /usr
filesys rootdisk.s4 10000 /opt
filesys rootdisk.s6 10 unnamed
filesys rootdisk.s7 10 unnamed
geo N_America
locale US_En
cluster SUNWCall

I ran the check script and it created the rules.ok file so I assume all
the paths are setup correctly. Anyone else have these problems????

Thanks!
Pat
