install=installserver:/jumpstart9/jump9tst/Solaris2.9 boottype=:in
sysid_config=installserver:/jumpstart9/jump9tst/profile9
install_config=installserver:/jumpstart9/jump9tst/profile9
rootopts=:rsize=32768 ns=:none
and here from the sysidcfg:
system_locale=en_US
timezone=MET
timeserver=localhost
terminal=vt100
name_service=NONE
security_policy=NONE
network_interface=primary {hostname=madrid ip_address=hostname
