SPARC: When Does a System Match a Rule?

During a custom JumpStart installation, JumpStart attempts to match the system being installed to the rules in the rules.ok file from the first rule through the last. A match occurs when the system being installed matches all the system attributes defined in the rule. As soon as a system matches a rule, JumpStart stops reading the rules.ok file and begins to install the system based on the matched rule's profile.
