Tom,
You probably interpreted that statement correctly. You normally
wouldn't have to do this for serving newer (153 or later) images. But
because of bug 7011720 (which exists in build 156 and 157 images), this
same step is the workaround needed for those images as well.
(I'm assuming your issue was with a 153 or later image.)

Ethan,
thank you. I misinterpreted the part about serving older images thinking
I was golden.

Was this an intended change in later version of installadm?
This was part of the changes to support multi-homed AI servers. By
default, if your server has multiple interfaces (vboxnet0 counts),
installadm will put the server's hostname in wanboot.conf, and the
client will resolve it to the right address at its boot time. However,
due to bug 7011720, the client isn't able to update its hosts file and
hence fails to resolve the hostname. (This bug will be fixed in the
158 images.)
Is there a configuration I can change?
Yes, you can configure your AI server such that it only serves off of
one network. With this setting, installadm will put the server's IP
address for that configured network in wanboot.conf and things should
work as before. The full flag day for this can be found here:

rver+support
basically what you'd need to do is to set the property in the
[2]svc:/system/install/server:default service to only serve one
network. e.g (fill in your IP and netmask info):
svccfg -s [3]svc:/system/install/server:default setprop
all_services/networks =
192.168.1.1/24
Then recreate your install service (or re-run the create-client command
for the needed clients)

My server built on 151a create the wanboot.conf with and IP
and I don't have a problems.
Thanks, Tom
