Jumpstart still asks for netmask after patching miniroot

I am trying to get the jumpstart config to fully automate the install on an
ultra5 box using Solaris 8 204

I have applied the following patches to the miniroot : 112396-02, 108987-09,
111111-03, and 109318-37

The last patch is supposed to fix the problem of going interactive when
name_service=none to ask for the netmask. It didn't.

My sysidcfg:

system_locale=en_US
timezone=US/Eastern
name_service=NONE
network_interface=hme0 {dhcp protocol_ipv6=no}
terminal=vt100
security_policy=NONE
root_password=*************
timeserver=<a known ip on my net>

my /etc/bootparams:

Sol8_test root=js_server:/jumpstart/OS/Sol8_0204/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot
install=js_server:/jumpstart/OS/Sol8_0204 boottype=:in
sysid_config=<js_server_ip>:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/ws
install_config=<js_server_ip>:/jumpstart rootopts=:rsize=32768

this is the output of the showrev against the mimiroot:

showrev -p -R /jumpstart/OS/Sol8_0204/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot | grep "Patch:
109318"

it net boots fine until configures the interface, then goes interactive, asks
for the netmask (already filled in). Once I punch through that - the build
continues as expected. The jumpstart server itself is on an solaris 9 904
build. As noted before the 109318 patch is supposed to fix this.

I had a similar problem with the Sol 9 jumpstart until I went to the 904 build
(which included the patch fix for this problem).

TIA
Brian
