jumpstart troubles.

Greetings Gurus,

I've got a boot/install server that I just put Solaris 8 02/02 (because I
couldn't jump the 4 Sun V100s that I have with 11/01)..

After creating all of the necessary files and made sure things like tftp
and bootparamd are working I tried jumping the machines.

I get to the part where it loads the sysidcfg file and then starts syslogd
and tries to configure savevore and then it starts running in command line
mode..

Has anyone here had this experience?

Im using the same sysidcfg and class files from my other boot images. Here
is my sysidcfg...

system_locale=C
terminal=vt100
timezone=US/Pacific
name_service=NONE
timeserver=172.16.128.56
network_interface=PRIMARY { netmask=255.255.224.0 protocol_ipv6=no }
security_policy=none
root_password=<secret>

Here is what the boot sequence looks like..
