./setup-install-server is the correct method to add the iso into the jumpstart tree.
there are however a number of caveats:
did you overwrite the existing iso image (location) that was on the jumpstart server? or did you install to another directory.
the error you are getting means the system cannot boot the kernel - depending on what you have done - it may be necessary to update /etc/bootparams (add_install_client) - make sure you have the right architecture in the command line & iso (root) location.
has this ever worked with the jumpstart server in question? do the sysidcfg / profile configurations exist?

Hello All,
Do I really need to add the install server name in the /etc/hosts file? Why do we need to add? If I don't add it is not working. Isn't it only arp/rarp works here? I thought it works in mac address level. thanks in advance. (3 Replies)

Hi Guys,
I am little bit confused about jumpstart on solaris 10.
Do you need the mac address for each system you intend to jumpstart? If you need the mac address, how will you get it? Say your server is in another location and you want to jumpstart it, how will you do it?

mkcd
mkcd(1M) System Administration Commands mkcd(1M)
NAME
mkcd - create bootable Solaris ISO image
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/mkcd -v [-l label] media-root iso
DESCRIPTION
The mkcd utility takes media-root (the root of an on-disk Solaris install media) as input and creates a bootable Solaris ISO image in the
file iso, using mkisofs(8). The file can then be burned onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1). (Neither mkisofs(8)
nor cdrecord(1) are SunOS man pages.)
Caution -
The directory tree media-root must contain the file boot/grub/stage2_eltorito, which will be written to the media boot sectors. This file
will be modified with some boot information, thus it must be writable. If necessary, first save a copy prior to running this utility.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-l label
Sets label as the label/volume name of the ISO image.
-v
Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
media-root
Top-level directory of an on-disk Solaris install media.
iso
Name of the output file which will contain the resulting ISO image.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Creating an ISO Image and Burning a CD/DVD
The following commands create an ISO image from the content of s10u1 and burn the image to a CD/DVD.
# /usr/bin/mkcd s10u1 s10u1.iso
# /usr/bin/cdrw -i s10u1.iso
