SUMMARY: Jumpstart issue

Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!  That's what I get for being in a hurry....Thanks to
all who responded.  I actually had 2 problems.  Solved one myself and
Russell Kaiser pointed me at another one.
Issue #1-  I didn't share out the /jumpstart directory.  I shared out the
/jumpstart/OS dir and thus the sysidcfg file could not be found. My
sysidcfg file was in the /jumpstart directory.

Issue #2  I had the wrong netmask in the /etc/netmasks file.  Thanks
again to all who responded, too many to list but much gratitude to all!


This list rocks and it again taught me to take my time instead of letting
people get to me about "deadlines".  I shouldn't have made such a mistake!
