Jumpstart error at end of installation.

All,

I just tried to install solaris 9 09/04 via my jumpstart server. This
server has worked many times before. However the installation goes fine
from the start all the way to the end. Then I get the following errors.
The whole installation for the hour previous went just like normal.
Where it sets up the partitions and formats them then copies the
packages over it needs for the system. Attached is a brief view of my
installation. Any clues to why it all of a sudden exited out to the root
prompt?

Thanks,
Jason
