ARP/RARP JumpStart issue

Greetings all,

            I have a sunfire v100 and I am setting it up as a jumpstart
server. It will have the ability to jumpstart Solaris 2.6, 7, 8 and 9
down to the client workstations. I have run into one slight snag with
one of my Sun Blade 100 machines. Now when I type "boot net - install"
from the ok prompt on the Blade, it gives me an ARP/RARP Request time
out message (two lines of it and then it sits there for a while). After
a while it will tell me to check my tftp server. Now I have triple
checked the /etc/ethers file and it does have the correct MAC address
listed for this machine

0:3:ba:1d:95:66 blade2

If I run snoop on the Sunfire server and I grep for tftp I found this:

blade2 -> BROADCAST TFTP Read "0A004467" (octet)
sunjumpstart -> blade2 TFTP Error: access violation

Though I have no idea why it is an "access violation"

I have a Blade right next to this blade that works just fine. I have
swapped cables, switch ports, just about everything I can think of. I
can boot off the bad blades Hard drive into a version of Solaris 8 and
ping other machines around the network.

If anyone can think of anything it would be appreciated.

Lex
