everything looks correct but do have the hostname i stated below
do you have a hostname in /etc for it to look at ?
then you need the ip of the JS server in /etc/hosts
then make sure the followign files are correct in /etc
the ethers file needs the MAC address of the client and the hostname example
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

Hello all,
I configured a jumpstart server ( the server is in the same subnet as the client) and gave boot net - install in the client.
The client boots up shows the banner and then displays error:

cant open disk label package
and then goes to OK prompt.

Hi Peeps,
Created a jumpstart server for an unattened install and it works, but got 2 bugs in the config which I would like to work out:
when you boot net install
It still asks you to select a language and locale, after you do this it kicks of an unattended install.
So my question is,... (5 Replies)

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with jumpstart that I haven't seen before. After booting the server and selecting F12 to boot it from the network it finds the jumpstart profile that has been set up for it and proceeds with the build until I get the following error:

ether_aton
ethers(3) Library Functions Manual ethers(3)NAME
ethers, ether_ntoa, ether_aton, ether_ntohost, ether_hostton, ether_line - Ethernet address mapping operations
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <net/if.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <netinet/if_ether.h>
char * ether_ntoa(e) struct ether_addr *e;
struct ether_addr * ether_aton(s) char *s;
ether_ntohost(hostname, e) char *hostname; struct ether_addr *e;
ether_hostton(hostname, e) char *hostname; struct ether_addr *e;
ether_line(l, e, hostname) char *l; struct ether_addr *e; char *hostname;
Arguments
The ether_addr structure is defined in <netinet/if_ether.h>
DESCRIPTION
These routines are useful for mapping 48 bit Ethernet numbers to their ASCII representations or their corresponding host names, and vice
versa. The mapping is obtained from the /etc/ethers database; see ethers(4).
The function ether_ntoa() converts a 48 bit Ethernet number pointed to by e to its standard ACSII representation; it returns a pointer to
the ASCII string. The representation is of the form:
x : x : x :x : x : x
Where x is a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff. The function ether_aton() converts an ASCII string in the standard representation back
to a 48 bit Ethernet number; the function returns NULL if the string cannot be scanned successfully.
The function ether_ntohost() maps an Ethernet number (pointed to by e ) to its associated hostname. The string pointed to by hostname must
be long enough to hold the hostname and a NULL character. The function returns zero upon success and non-zero upon failure. Inversely,
the function ether_hostton() maps a hostname string to its corresponding Ethernet number; the function modifies the Ethernet number pointed
to by e. The function also returns zero upon success and non-zero upon failure.
The function ether_line() scans a line (pointed to by l) and sets the hostname and the Ethernet number (pointed to by e). The string
pointed to by hostname must be long enough to hold the hostname and a NULL character. The function returns zero upon success and non-zero
upon failure. The format of the scanned line is described by ethers(4).
