summary:
        14082 bootarg for booting automated installs over the network
        13766 AI debug mode can only be activated in conjunction with 
service discovery
        4069 The create-service setup doesn't work if a client is booted 
using a tip line


A change in build 132 is that Sparc booting will *require* a bootarg
to trigger the  Automated Install.  This new required bootarg is
named "install", as the following:

   ok > boot net:dhcp - install

Without the "install" bootarg, the system will boot into the AI boot
image and present console-login, but automated installation will
not start.

In addition, there is now a bootarg to enable debug mode for Sparc
for the automated installer.  This new bootarg is named "install_debug"
and can be used as such:

   ok > boot net:dhcp - install install_debug



Thanks,
