Solaris 10, jumpstart, Unable to copy a temporary file to it's final location



Hi,

anyone who has seen this before !? I am puzzled. I Did not find anything
on that issue in the archive nor on the web. To be correct I found one
reference on the web to the exact same problem and that was on Sun
Forums, but the guy who posted the problem May 2005 never got an answer
:-( The link to his post is:

http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=24578&tstart=75

Any help appreciated. We have been running jumpstart for all our servers
for several years with Solaris 7, 8, 9 and this is the first time we try
for Solaris 10. The problem seems to be that the "profile" directory
does not exist, therefore can attributes not be set for the file in that
directory. The output from my jumpstart is as follows, see the warning
and the error at the end.
