[SunHELP] Help ! Failing -p option for drvconfig? What is it ?

[Foong, Tzeweng]

Hello all,

I have inherited a script that does a restore of a sun box over the 
network via jumpstart  (ie on the box console I run "boot net - recover" )

The script works fine with an install server server that is on version 2.51
but we are upgrading the install server to 2.8.  With the 2.8 server

I get lots of error messages and the recover fails. 

I have traced it down to the command

	drvconfig -r ${ROOT} -p ${ROOT}/etc/path_to_inst

** I have looked at the man pages and there is no -p option to the 
drvconfig command. Any one knows what it is?

Please help...

Thanks in advance !!
