Hi Richard: i386boot-standard is needed on the server and i386initrd_template is needed on the client. I guess you really only need the latter installed on the cient (when you run si_prepareclient).
I never used the install script so I couldn't tell you - it's likely not kept up to date with the newer releases. I usually just install the RPMs by hand.
