I have a peculiar jumpstart problem. I've included output of the
client jumpstarting, here:

And so on. On the server, we see:

dc-mvncrmas2:/export/jumpstart/config/dc-mvncrmas2

# grep dc-mvncrmas2 /etc/bootp*
/etc/bootparams:dc-mvncrmas2
root=dc-suntools:/export/jumpstart/install/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot
install=10.2.3.251:/export/jumpstart/install boottype=:in
sysid_config=10.2.3.251:/export/jumpstart/config/dc-mvncrmas2
install_config=10.2.3.251:/export/jumpstart/install
rootopts=:rsize=32768
It is extremely frustrating, as you can see. The directories all get
mounted, sysidcfg is seen and used, the client box is configured
properly, and for some reason, although rules.ok is sitting right
where it is supposed to be, it is being ignored. I can then proceed
manually through the install, but this means that all the filesystem
configuration I've done in my profiles, and all the users/patches/etc
that get done by finish scripts are going to be done by hand. And I've
got a lot of these to do.
When it says it's searching for the "jumpstart directory", watching
snoop seems to indicate that it is looking for the 'install' parameter
from bootparams. However, that parameter is clearly defined, and even
mounted on the system (/cdrom).
Thanks in advance for any help.
