Yeah, check the hard drive sizes. Also, it could be that for whatever reason
on the "oddball" V490 that the hard drive is coming up on a different
controller (c1 vs c0, or something) and that could fubar your jumpstart. I
had that happen on identical V240s with Solaris 9 and could never figure out
why. The "rootdisk.s1" stuff in the profile didn't fix it, either, I had to
be explicit in the profile for some reason. My memory is hazy.
