That's good to know. I was trying to network-install nv-19 through PXE. Guess I'll do more test to see what are absolutly necessary and what are not. It's unfortunate that Sun has this resource issue (they're still cutting people I heard) in Solaris development and yet so many 'old'/'low priority' problems haven't been addressed over the years. I hope in the short term, new teams in China/India etc. can pick up/share the responsibilities and expend the capability within Sun; while in the long run, the greater community can contribute more significantly . For this particular issue, I don't see how I can contribute any code change right now, as I am not proficient in either boot or dhcp. However please keep me posted if the lead decide to start doing something, I do know a few 'boot' and 'install' experts in our shop, who may contribute more or less to the discussion, even though we're on a different platform ;-).
