It won't work - it doesn't really matter what OS your jumpstart server
is running - it might be even Linux. Basically all it does is
assigning a client an IP address and serving files over tftp and nfs.
The support for what you are asking for has to be in a client's
miniroot served by jumpstart server. So if you want to use a clean S10
install it doesn't matter what OS is on your jumpstart server.
btw:
Assuming the required support is already in Nevada, technically
speaking you could try to use a miniroot from Nevada, hack it a little
bit and get S10 installed - there will be many issues I believe and
it's probably not worth it.
