Solaris8 jumpstart upgrade on Netra120 problem

Hi all,
I'm trying to create some jumpstart scripts for upgrading various Sun
boxes from solaris 8_02_02 to 8_02_04. I'm doing this by creating a
customized jumpstart CD (not with a jumpstart server). My testing shows
that the upgrade works on Ultra5 and Ultra10. However, it's failing on
a Netra120. I can successfully install both solaris 8_02_02 and
solaris 8_02_04 on the Netra. However, the jumpstart upgrade halted in
the following way:

(started upgrade process)

        - Selecting cluster (SUNWCuser)

        - Deselecting package (SUNWpmux)

My profile for the upgrade is as follow:

install_type upgrade
root_device c1t0d0s0
cluster SUNWCuser
package SUNWpmr delete
package SUNWpmu delete
package SUNWpmux delete
... (more packages)
package SUNWarc add
package SUNWbash add
package SUNWbtool add
package SUNWgzip add
... (more packages)

I have also tried dry run the upgrade by booting the cdrom in
single-user mode, and then running /usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -D
<profile>
On the Ultra's, the exit status is 0. On the Netra's, the exit status
is 2, and the output looks like:
...
installboot /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 (SPARC) or /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2
touch ${base}/reconfigure
Test run complete. Exit status 2.

However, on the Ultra's (where the upgrade is successful), after the
'reconfigure' line, the following is also seen:

Preparing system for Solaris upgrade
Upgrade complete
Test run complete. Exit status 0.

Does anyone have experience with upgrading the netra120? Or know how to
debug a jumpstart upgrade from this point on?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Gloria
