Perchance does only the first mount point work? I ran into a strange
problem when netbooting a bunch of sparc boxes for install where only the
first mount point would work... all others give the same "can't change
attributes" error. I never really looked into it, and thus never really
solved it. Maybe it was tab vs. spaces? I'm not sure...
