This turns out be a problem with tftp. Ed's machine is running Solaris 9.
For the tftp tranfer issue, you will need to apply the following tftp patches for S9: The following tftp patches are needed for your install server: Solaris 9 sparc - 114006-02 or higher Solaris 9 x86 - 114007-02 or higher Solaris 10 sparc - 123332-01 or higher - This is included in s10u3. Solaris 10 x86 - 123333-01 or higher - This is included in s10u3. After Ed apply the proper patch for S9, the jumpstart works fine.
