If the system was previously set up as a DHCP server, and you only used "dhtadm -R" to remove the dhcptab table, but the DHCP service was still configured because you hadn't run "dhcpconfig -U" yet, installadm shouldn't be trying to create the DHCP server configuration from scratch, and hence this error.
