Jumpstart: syntax error and trying to load from /cdrom media, which disk to use for Solaris 8 image



Dear Managers,

I'm very close to getting my JS up and running.

My image was created from the Solaris 8 Software HW 5/03 1of 2 disk.
#pwd
/cdrom/sol_8_hw503_sparc/s0/Solaris_8/Tools
#./setup_install_server /mountpoint/d2
(no errors generated)

I'm not sure if I need to use that disk (above) or the Solaris 8 Installation
HW 5/03 disk
Could this be my problem? It seems the client is looking to the cdrom for the
OS image (below).



Any pointers are welcomed, thanks.
