First, you run si_prepareclient on the golden client.  then on the image 
server, si_getimage.  This pulls the image from the client to the image 
server, and creates the autoinstall script.  then si_addclient on the image 
server will set up the dhcp and hosts tables for those clients....how are you 
planning to boot the new boxes?  I've only done pxeboots, but I guess the 
next step could be si_mkautoinstallcd to make an iso image to boot the 
clients with.  I've attached an openoffice doc I wrote up on the process I 
use...but again, that's with pxeboot, and assuming an already working image 
server who's also the dhcp/tftp server.
