Jumpstart bootparams

I just had a few questions with bootparams and Jumpstart that hopefully
a few of you can clarify.

currently we use the following syntax to add a new install client on our
jumpstart server:

/opt/jumpstart/solaris8_install/Solaris_8/Tools/add_install_client \
     -e <MAC> \
     -p server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/profiles \
     -c server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/profiles \
     -i <CLIENT IP ADDRESS> <CLIENT NAME> sun4u

this puts the following in /etc/bootparams:

client.domain.org root=server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/solaris8_install/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot
install=server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/solaris8_install boottype=:in
sysid_config=server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/profiles
install_config=server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/profiles
rootopts=:rsize=32768

but I have seen the following in /etc/bootparams too:

* install_config=server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/profiles

now is there a way to get all clients to use the same options?

so :

* root=server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/solaris8_install/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot
install=server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/solaris8_install boottype=:in
sysid_config=server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/profiles
install_config=server.domain.org:/opt/jumpstart/profiles
rootopts=:rsize=32768

but how would I go about adding a new client that it just put the
information in /etc/ethers and /etc/hosts but left this in
/etc/bootparams???

Thanks
