Hello

A couple of quick things, I am running SPARC, the server is an E3500 and the 
two clients are Sunfire 280R's

I have been trying to get my OpenSolaris Box be a jumpstart and boot server.
I'm trying to install Solaris 10 on a couple of servers that for some reason, I 
can't get my function keys or ESC key to work from the serial console, so I 
can't do the normal cd install. So now I am trying to do a jumpstart install 
from the network.
The box I am running used to be the jumpstart/boot server running Solaris 10 
for our company, but we decided to upgrade to OpenSolaris. I managed to install 
all of our images to the server and successfully ran setup_install_server -b 
/install/boot to make the boot image for Solaris 10. I then added the client 
with the command add_install_client -e 0:3:ba:3a:1e:a6 -s server:/install -c 
server:/install/config -p server:/install/config client sun4u
I also enabled tftp by uncommenting it in /etc/inetd.conf and running inetconv 
then enableing the service with svcadm enable udp6 (on solaris 10, svcadm 
enable tftpd enabled it, but in open Solaris it is too stupid to figure out the 
proper name so it called it udp6) I ran all the commands from the image 
location on the server. 
I then tried to boot the client running boot net - install from the OK prompt 
and all I get is 
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet.
At first I thought that arp wasn't enabled, but running svcs it shows tftp and 
rarp online. The Mac Address is correct for the machine and I have the client 
in my hosts and ethers file.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
