problems with jumpstart

        When I try & "boot net - install" the jumpstart client, the
installation on the client, is not non-interactive.
        Does anyone have any idea whether there is something wrong with my
configuration, or is there a trick that I have missed, to allow for a
non-interactive client install ?

        I have built one server (hostname "white"), to be the boot, install
& config server.
        I have populated the relevant files with the clients details. ie.
/etc/hosts & /etc/ethers.
        The server is running Solaris 8 & has the latest patch cluster
installed.
        The clients name is "firewall_new"

After running the add_install_client script as follows:

./add_install_client -e <MAC address of client> -i <IP address of client> -s
white:/scratch/jumpstart_images/firewall01 -c
white:/scratch/jumpstart_images/firewall01 -p
white:/scratch/jumpstart_images/firewall01/sysidcfgdir
firewall_new.cellops.com sun4u

I get the following output:

cleaning up preexisting install client "firewall_new"
removing firewall_new from bootparams
removing /etc/bootparams, since it is empty
removing /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_8-1
updating /etc/bootparams
copying inetboot to /tftpboot

        I run the check script & get a rules.ok file in return

        All the relevant files seem to be ok:

/etc/bootparams

firewall_new
root=white:/scratch/jumpstart_images/firewall01/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot
install=white:/scratch/jumpstart_imag
es/firewall01 boottype=:in

I have searched high & low for ideas of how to fix this problem, before
posting this message.

Your help would be very much appreciated
