Summary: netmask & defaultrout not set in Jumpstart

Thanks for number of prompt replies:

Val Popa <Val.Popa@sun.com>
"Freeman Clem H" <Clem.Freeman@uk.fujitsu.com>
"Brad Morrison" <brad.morrison@gmail.com>

who all suggested to add my new netmask to /etc/netmasks. This did not
seem to do anything. The target server still configured its netmask wrong.

A workaround that seem to do the trick came from
From: "Anonymous Mark" <anonmark@gmail.com>

who pointed me to the following from Virtual Dave
http://wiki.xdroop.com/space/Sun/Jumpstart/Jumpstart+on+non-standard+networks

Now when the target server boots up, it correctly sets its netmask to
my desired 255.255.252.0

Many thanks,
George
