I am trying to network install OpenSolaris CE build 95 on a Netra box. Our DHCP 
server is a Linux box and the install server is an older OpenSolaris system on 
a Sunblade. I’ve followed the instructions to create the install server and the 
jumpstart area. However, when I boot the target box I see the following:

ok boot net:dhcp - install
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1:dhcp  
File and args: - install
Timeout waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply. Retrying ... 
Timeout waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply. Retrying ... 
Timeout waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply. Retrying ... 
TFTP Error: File not found

Boot load failed

ok 

The DHCP request from the Netra contains the following:

DHCP: Message type = DHCPDISCOVER
DHCP: Client Class Identifier = "SUNW.UltraAX-i2"
DHCP: Requested Options:
DHCP:    1 (Subnet Mask)
DHCP:    3 (Router)
DHCP:   12 (Client Hostname)
DHCP:   43 (Vendor Specific Options)
DHCP: Maximum DHCP Message Size = 1472 bytes

Despite the timeout messages shown above we area able to get the IP address 
assigned and the next server information passed to the box. 

The Netra then issues a TFTP request with the following:

TFTP:  ----- Trivial File Transfer Protocol -----
TFTP:
TFTP:  Opcode = 1 (read request)
TFTP:  File name = "SUNW.UltraAX-i2"
TFTP:  Transfer mode = octet

However, nothing add_network_client does puts a file by that name in there nor 
can you specify this name as a platform group that goes by this name.

I've obviously stuffed up somewhere but I'm not sure where so am after some 
advice.

Neale
