[Sunhelp] i86pc install server

Hi all,

i'm trying to set up an install server on my u5 so that i can load
solaris 7 on a pc that doesn't have a cdrom.  After running the
add_install_server script and copying the cd to the ultra i tried using
the add_install_client script as described in the man page.  I just keep
getting a "usage: ./add_install_client..." error.  on the pc, when the
device configuration assistant reaches the point where it asks for the
default boot device, 'net' is not one of my choices.  i assume that this
is because the pc has not been added to the server as a client, but
several variations of './add_install_client  -e  00:50:ba:d5:92:a0
i86pc' have not worked for me and documentation other than the man page
seem to be scarce.   if anyone can help i'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
-brian
