Hi,

I have a new setup for Jumpstart, where clients boot via DHCP to find
install server and so.
Whatever I try, with all other similar situations discussed on
SunManagers by other people, I can't get the installation to proceed
without interaction.
It always proceeds as follows :

ok> boot net:dhcp - install
...
Rebooting with command: boot net:dhcp - install
Boot device: /pci@8,700000/network@5,1:dhcp File and args: - install
SunOS Release 5.9 Version Generic_117171-07 64-bit Copyright 1983-2003
Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
Configuring /dev and /devices
Using DHCP for network configuration information.
Searching for configuration file(s)...
Search complete.

Then it starts by asking me for a language, the terminal type, and all
the other standard queries for an interactive installation.

If I check on the install server, the access-date/time of its "sysidcfg"
file is unmodified, as if the client is not reading it.

Its contents are :

system_locale=en_US
timezone=MET
timeserver=localhost
terminal=vt100
security_policy=NONE
network_interface=primary
        { protocol_ipv6=no }
root_password=blabla

How to debug where it gets lost ?

TIA

Rob
