Jumpstart error cat: cannot open /cdrom/.cdtoc

     Hello,

I am having trouble with my Jumpstart configuration. I have 20 SUN 280Rs
out of the box that
I need to jumpstart with Solaris 8. I have a couple of questions. First,
should I fully patch my Jumpstart server before I begin my installations.
Also, is it NOT recommended that I patch the jumpstart image within the
/jumpstart directory. Below is the original error that I mailed about. My
understanding is that Jumpstart copies the /jumpstart directory to /cdrom in
order to simulate a CD install for the OS. It seems like the system is
seeing my configuration files that I set up. Below is the exact error and
output I get when I run my jumpstart. I am using Solaris version 2/2 that
was shipped with the Sun 280Rs.
I am on site at a job and cannot get past this error. 2 weeks prior I
executed jumpstart with no problems using a SUN420 as the server and a
Ultra5 as the client.

Thanks for any help.
