jumpstart is picky and overly complex monster. On x86, it's just
worthless.

always add the -v flag to your boot install whatever command so you can
see what's happening and where it blows up.

You're at least able to get an address, and boot the kernel off your
jumpstart machine if you're getting rules errors- this is good.
