Well, from a jumpstart point of view, the MAC is the single unique
identifier that it needs to map machines (which are discovering
themselves on an ethernet network.). In short, if your MAC address
changes dynamically, you're always going to have to tell your rarp/dhcp
server about it. Now, you might be able to make that happen
automagically by having your LDOM primary push this to the rarp server,
but it's gotta be done somehow.
I guess it is more possible to do generic installs using a dhcp server
with a macro assigned to all machines on a network..., but I don't think
you can do it if you are using bootp.
