Headless Jumpstart Question

Hello,

My question is - How do I set up jumpstart so that it will install through
to completion with a fully headless Sun box where my only access is through
a console cable? Is there a good FAQ out there?

While working with updating our jumpstart script for Solaris 9, I noticed
that part of the install process is in X. We have about 30 Solaris boxes set
up in this manner, so I don't really want to cart around a keyboard, monitor
and mouse for each install.

Through the X-Menu asks me to set the following options:
1) Default Route
2) Power Management

Part 1 is handled by a finish script right now, but how can I get the prompt
to go away. Anyone know what option I can set for two to make it go away?
I'm hoping that there is a solution aside from setting up one profile for
each machine.

When the machine reboots, it asks me to confirm:
1) Locale
2) Kerberos

I've experimented with setting options for part 1 in my sysidcfg to en_US
and en.US.ISO88590-1 , but I still see the prompt. Part 2 I thought was
handled by the option "security_policy=NONE". Does anyone have an idea why
I'm still seeing these last two prompts?

Sincerely,
Mark R.

Sysidcfg:

system_locale=en_US.ISO8859-1
timezone=US/Eastern
timeserver=10.10.10.5
terminal=vt102
name_service=NIS {domain_name=myyp name_server=myypserv(10.10.10.23)}
network_interface=PRIMARY {protocol_ipv6=no}
root_password=mypassencrypted
security_policy=NONE

Test Machine:
Ultra 10, 300Mhz, 1GB RAM, with the current OBP.

Install Command:
<stop a> boot net -v install
