    I am trying to get the jumpstart config to fully automate the install on an
    ultra5 box using Solaris 8 204

    I have applied the following patches to the miniroot : 112396-02, 108987-09,
    111111-03, and 109318-37

    The last patch is supposed to fix the problem of going interactive when
    name_service=none to ask for the netmask. It didn't.

    My sysidcfg:

    system_locale=en_US
    timezone=US/Eastern
    name_service=NONE
    network_interface=hme0 {dhcp protocol_ipv6=no}
    terminal=vt100
    security_policy=NONE
    root_password=*************
    timeserver=<a known ip on my net>

    my /etc/bootparams:

    Sol8_test root=js_server:/jumpstart/OS/Sol8_0204/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot
    install=js_server:/jumpstart/OS/Sol8_0204 boottype=:in
    sysid_config=<js_server_ip>:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/ws
    install_config=<js_server_ip>:/jumpstart rootopts=:rsize=32768

    this is the output of the showrev against the mimiroot:

    showrev -p -R /jumpstart/OS/Sol8_0204/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot | grep "Patch:
    109318"

    it net boots fine until configures the interface, then goes interactive, asks
    for the netmask (already filled in). Once I punch through that - the build
    continues as expected. The jumpstart server itself is on an solaris 9 904
    build. As noted before the 109318 patch is supposed to fix this.

    I had a similar problem with the Sol 9 jumpstart until I went to the 904 build
    (which included the patch fix for this problem).

    TIA
    Brian
