I've been trying to test AI, without much success.

I have a sparc client - a SunBlade 1500. I've set up a spare x86 desktop with
2009.06 as the AI server.

So I boot the client with net:dhcp, and discover that it's time to get
a cup of coffee.
Downloading the wanboot image (175Meg - what on earth does it need 175M for?)
takes *forever*.

I waited 30 minutes. It gets most of the way through the download, but
I got several
errors like:

alert: http_read:body: errsrc 1, err 4 (0x4)

and eventually

Fast Data Access MMU Miss
Memory Address not Aligned
Stack Underflow

and ended up back at the ok prompt.

This is a gigabit network on which I can sustain pretty close to wire
speed between
machines. (And it reports on the console that it's negotiating to 1000
full duplex as
it should.) I've done hundreds of jumpstart installs in this
environment without error.
It ought to complete the initial download in seconds, not minutes, and
it shouldn't fail.

A second boot attempt fails the same way.

Any idea what's up?
