everything looks correct but do have the hostname i stated below

do you have a hostname in /etc for it to look at ?

Code:
/etc/hostname.hme0 has the name amd1 in it

then you need the ip of the JS server in /etc/hosts
Code:
192.168.0.2 amd1 loghost

then make sure the followign files are correct in /etc
Code:
defaultrouter, netmasks, ethers

the ethers file needs the MAC address of the client and the hostname example
Code:
 00:03:ba:cd:c4:34 amd1


when you did ./check did you get a rules.ok file after that?


one thing in your bootparams it is different than what I use but that does not mean much here is mine

Code:
 test1 root=jumpstart:/jumpstart/solaris_10/sol10_u6/sparc/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot install=jumpstart:/jumpstart/solaris_10/sol10_u6/sparc boottype=:in sysid_config=10.0.1.3:/jumpstart/solairs_10 install_config=10.0.1.3:/jumpstart rootopts=rsize8192

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
