wow... sorry this took so long, and that it's not as pretty as most...
lots of tips from dozens of folks... thanks to all....unfortunately, I'm an
airhead,
and I can't locate the individuals who were kind enough to take the time to
help out,
including several second level sun technicians.
Sorry.
I found the book "automating solaris installations, a custome jumpstart
guide" to be marginally useful. There are hooks and switches that are no
longer applicable
(ie: you can't do install_boot_server -b <path> <ARCH>
because the ARCH part is no longer an option, it grabs all arch's - you only
select the arch during add_client!) and it didn't go into the depth I wanted
for remote subnet bootservers (I would like to have seen more examples).
documents that helped alot:
INFODOC ID: 16484 "Handsoff Jumpstart using "sysidcfg" with no Nameservice"
www.sysadminmag.com/current/feature.shtml(may2000)"Building a Jumpstart
Server for Solaris"
SUN Jumpstart Installation FAQ
I've spent the last few weeks setting up this environment, and I've decided
that I'd
simply share the kludgy, poorly built scripts with you in hopes that this
example can be added to the archives of possibilities.
I wont go into the standard install_server part, that is a given.
The setup for my site was only to do a 2.5.1 to 2.6 upgrade, no partitions
were changed,
all data is preserved.
Here are the scripts that I used to set up the REMOTE (read: other side of a
router from the installation server) bootservers, and a verbose script to
add each client.
Realize that these are specialized for my site. I still thought the
culmination of data might prove useful.

the rest of the 'proto' directory of the jumpstart installation server is

good luck!
