Bernd:
Thank you for your confirmation that the procedures works. I agree that
osol and jumpstart will co-exist for a while.
I am planning to blog about this after I got some help from doc writer
to clear up the procedures.
osol-inst is updated regularly with pkg-image-update. The last time I
try netinstall/jumpstart from this server with snv_126, it still works.
