In this case I simply edited the /etc/dfs/dfstab file and shared out the jumpstart area manually as per usual. The old Solaris 8 "add_install_client" script failed anyways as it was unable to determine if the local ZFS filesystem was in fact local. I simply moved it to another old fashioned UFS filesystem ( yeah, I just said old fashioned ) and then life went on as usual. Shame that I could not run the necessary processes out of the ZFS filesystem easily. I wanted to have every rev from Sol8HW4 up to latest Nevada shared out and bootable.
