[SunHELP] Netra T1 AC200 and jumpstart not working

[powlow]

This is the only machine i didn't install in a assorted configuration!

however, i did have a problem with the jumpstart install finding
rules.ok etc. which i ended up having to tar.gz and pass a full pathname
to. However, that would not give you the error shown below.
