solaris jumpstart problem with sysidcfg

Hello,
 
I am setting up jumpstart for solaris 9, and trying to use the sysidcfg file I used for solaris 8:
 
name_service=NONE
system_locale=en_US
timezone=US/Eastern
timeserver=localhost
terminal=vt100
root_password="Limo00RuIy1YY"
security_policy=NONE
network_interface=primary (netmask=255.255.255.128 protocol_ipv6=no)
 
It always goes to interactive install. After some debugging, I found out that the sysidnet called by sysidtool during the sysidcfg process always fails (not completed). But if I add "default_router" for "network_interface" in sysidcfg file to make it look like:
network_interface=primary (netmask=255.255.255.128 protocol_ipv6=no default_router=NONE)
 
the sysidcfg process completed successfully and the jumpstart also works.
 
Does anyone know what's been changed for the sysidnet in solaris 9? why is the default_router mandatory in solaris 9? (Note that even I set it to NONE, the client is still jumped with the default router the same as the boot server.)
 
Thanks.
