install-discovery script error for X86

Hi

I have edited the install-discovery in the miniroot to take in new bootargs and to generate a sysidcfg file for cd install.

I have added my new bootargs in the "Private Flags section"

and added a new function to generate the sysidcfg.

However now when I try to install using the cd the install-discovery crashes out at this point

# read bootargs for the boot device
# if fails - ignore and assume regular install
# if ok - see if preinstall bootargs set
# and if possible, copy the /devices from the stub

# read prom for default boot dev
# looking for "FD=..."
#
# Also, remember if an install option is specified. If so, skip
# the itu_jumpstart_menu.
#
install_menu=none

set -- ""
set -- `/sbin/getbootargs 2>/dev/null`
if [ $# -gt 0 ] ; then
while [ $# -gt 0 ] ; do
case $1 in
#
# Public flags
#
FD=*)

# at end of script, save root dev in /tmp/.preinstall
# this is an unambiguous indication of stub boot
FJS_BOOT="yes"
From=`(/sbin/install-discovery: syntax error at line 737: `(' unexpected

I haven't even touched this section of the script so I am confused any ideas out there

Thanks
