NetScape6 won't install from jumpstart

We have a custom jumpstart setup to install Netscape6 using the provided ns6install script from an RC script after the initial reboot. No matter what we try it never works after the jumpstart has completed. It installs all the packages, but when we try to run netscape6, one of two things happen. Either it will open the profile manager and not show any text or it will show the license agreement and nothing else.

If we use the same RC script to install ns6 after the system is up and running, it installs and works fine. This is also seen if we break at this RC script in jumpstart and run it manually. It only breaks if we allow jumpstart to automatically install it.

Unfortunately, it does not appear that we can install from a Finish script since this ns6install program won't accept
the -R argument to set the root install directory.

We are using a Here Document to run the install program automatically:

./ns6install<<EOF
/opt
y
y
y
EOF

Any ideas?
