SUMMARY: 10k jumpstart solaris 2.6 problems

After talking with a Sun Support Engineer I finally decided to share the cdrom
and run the add_install_client off the cdrom

it works

so

1)	       # share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom/cdrom0/s0
2)		# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_2.6/Tools
3)		# ./add_install_client newdomain sun4u1


and output is
<#20> ok
<#20> ok limit-ecache-size
<#20> ok boot qfe0 -sv
