    Hello,

    I installed a v240 and patched it with the most recent patch cluster (as
    of about 3 weeks ago). I then created a flash archive and installed the
    image on some other v240s without an issue. I ran into a problem when I
    went to install the image onto a v240 that did not contain a DVD drive.
    It seems that if the machine has a DVD drive, it is on c0 and the internal
    disk(s) get put on c1 otherwise the disks are on c0. I thought that was
    odd, but it seemed workable, I went in, changed my profile to reflect c0
    since these machines didn't have a DVD drive, and rejumped, The
    installation worked as expected, but upon the reboot, it couldn't fsck
    anything. I booted from a net image and looked at the installed vfstab
    and saw that the disk in there was set to c1. I've never had this problem
    before, the jumpstart process has always generated the correct vfstab
    for my installation when installing via an archive. It almost seems like
    the /etc/vfstab file is getting copied over from my image and not regenerated.
    Anyone see this before?

    Thanks
