Hi,


After applying the latest 2012-CPU patches the flash archive format changed to
version 3.0 and the original miniroot which boots from the JET server does not
recognise this( JET4.8 with Solaris 10 update 9 SPARC).

Checking the net revealed similar problems. Tried the following suggestion to
apply patch 124630-61 to the miniroot but it still did not work:

http://www.unix.com/solaris/165892-jumpstart-error-unsupported-version-3-0-a.
html

I used the procedures from Oracle to patch a miniroot:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18752_01/html/821-1909/ghffh.html

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/821-0439/netinstall-patch/index.html

http://docs.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/821-0439/ghfes/index.html





The install bombs out with the following errors:

The original server did not have any snapshots and was built with JET using
