Daniel:
There is a bug with tftp and you need to apply the tftp patch on your
install server to resolve the issue.
6301318 - in.tftpd fails with files >32MB with default block size
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.
Unfortunately, there is no tftp patch available for Solaris 8. You can
consider upgrading your old install server from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9
or latest Solaris 10 updates to resolve the issue.
