For some reason, the create-service is setting up X86 AI client. Please 
check the version of your  SUNWinstalladm-tools package on your install 
server. If you haven't updated recently (this week), it will not have 
SPARC related changes. If you have updated the SUNWinstalladm-tools this 
week, please send the output of 'pkg info SUNWinstalladm-tools' to me 
and I can verify whether you have the latest tools.
