We can't yet communicate with the machine, of course, and there's nothing about the root filesystem layout that tells us the platform implementation (sun4u or sun4v). Bootadm builds per-platform archives as we've found otherwise boot time suffers. The diskless admin tools already know the client's implementation so it's just a matter of communicating that to bootadm during the process of configuring the client. -jg
