yes you need the mac if you like to install a server via jumpstart... getting the mac depends on how you are connected to the remote server. to use jumpstart you need access to the servers console/obp. from there you'll find the mac address easily.

show-nets will give you the physical path to your networkdevices. use cd to navigate to the device and view all information about that device with .properties
