use cpio arcivhe files as jumpstart image

| I built a system with Solaris 2.8, the hostname is jump1.xx.com
then I use cpio archive the entire system from root, /var
and /usr as root.cpio.gz, var.cpio.gz and usr.cpio.gz.
I use the xx.cpio.gz files as my
jumpstart image files for installing other system, such as
jump2.xx.com. After I complete the jumpstart installation, the system
jump2.xx.com keeps rebooting, never stop.
If I do jumpstart to jump1.xx.com, which is the original build system
hostname, it works just fine.
I need to install many systems by using jumpstart. Right now,
I do jumpstart to jump1.xx.com, then change the hostname after
completing jumpstart installation.
Would any one please shed a light why I could not do jumpstart to
different hostname

The proper way to do this is to build a flash archive of jump1.xx.com and use
it to build your other systems. man flarcreate

| That was what I did, I built jump1.xx.com, then archive it.
Use the archive files to build another system jump2.xx.com, after
completing
jump2.xx.com keeps rebooting, never stop, it reboot by itself.
Please help.

That is not what you SAID you did. If you used flarcreate, why were
you writing about cpio?
Did you understand "man flarcreate" in the reply? It means to read the
manual page for flarcreate which should tell you how to do it properly!
