NetraX1 not booting of the network

Hi,

I have a Netra X1 that I trying to install off a network install server.
I followed the instructions in the Solaris 8 Advanced Installation guide
to create the install server and have applied the Netra X1 patch from
Sun to the install image on the server.

Both systems are in the same subnet.

Here is what happens:

Executing last command: boot net
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ethernet@c File and args:
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_108528-13 64-bit
Copyright 1983-2001 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
NOTICE: dmfe0: PHY 1 link up 100 Mbps Full-Duplex
NOTICE: dmfe1: PHY 1 link down
Configuring /dev and /devices
Using RPC Bootparams for network configuration information.
Skipping interface dmfe1
Configured interface dmfe0
Usage:
mount [-v | -p]
mount [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
        {special | mount_point}
mount [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
        special mount_point
mount -a [-F FSType ] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
        [mount_point ...]
Unable to mount /cdrom/Solaris_*/Tools/Boot/usr

If I look at the file system I see my nfs mounts. Checked permissions on
the install server and they are ok.

I can start the install manually from here but I'd like to resolve this.

Any ideas?
