I highly doubt it, as it works well for another operating system on
this blade, although after the dhcp client failure from the installer,
I chose the option to setup the ip address manually, but it was unable
to succeed doing so.
What does your DHCP server log when you're trying the IP
auto-configuration from the installer? Compare it with what happens when
this is done on Solaris.
Do you think the nvram swap caused this issue, and should I reprogram
the chip to its former mac address?
No, not really, I actually expect it to work with any MAC address,
although it could make problems to use a MAC address not from Sun's MAC
address blocks, but that's not the case for you. I just wondered about
the how. :-)
But you could give it a try, of course. While there's no mkp/mkpl in
v4.x OBP, it could work using the description on [1]. Also the Sun
NVRAM/hostid FAQ ([2]) mentions this method. But I haven't tried this
yet for myself, so no guarantee that it will work.

But maybe it's not worth the effort to go back to the original MAC
address if the machine works well with Solaris.
Did you reset the OBP environment vars after you installed the new NVRAM
into your Blade 150? If it was programmed in another Sun machine (not a
Blade 150 but e.g. a Sun Enterprise 250), it could contain garbage from
the other machine.
