JET runs: /opt/SUNWjet/Utils/solaris/client_management_<method>.SunOS to see if that method works.
Based on your messages, dhcp works, but grub does not. Looking at the files, it seems that dhcp is set up fine, but in the grub case, it doesn't think that the O/S you've chosen is grubable.
It checks to see if <solaris location>/boot/grub exists. Looks like it doesn't.Might be that you've not copied your O/S image correctly, or possibly you are using SPARC media rather than x86?

I have made the decision to NOT add patch 119375, it's been rolled into latest KJP, I think. Bad idea? This is patching the image that JET wants me to do. Thanks for your help. Apparently we are FIRST! in trying to do this with the x4450. Can't seem to find anyone else who experienced similar.
