Thanks to Richard Skelton, Andy Lee, D Dunham, S Watkins, Paul Greidanus, and Bill Welliver for their responses. It turns out that two different changes were needed to completely solve my problem. 1. A number of people pointed out I was not using the "netmask" option in the sysidcfg file. This had originally been by design as I was using the dhcp option to try to get info from there. The netmask & dhcp options are incompatible. I had tried the netmask option first off but at that stage there were other problems in the config so I had gone over to using the dhcp option without being aware I had actually made the problem worse :) Anyway, I changed back to using the netmask option and it stopped prompting for the netmask to be entered manually (makes sense :) 2. The 2nd problem related to being prompted for dns information when it was seemingly un-necessary. Paul Greidanus correctly pointed out that Jumpstart prompts for dns information (most of which only goes into /etc/resolv.conf) if it does not see the client information in the dns. I made sure our dns was updated with an A record for the client and all of the problems went away. Thanks to everyone who posted. It has been a great help.
