    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
