Can't jumpstart Ultra 10 from Linux jumpstart server

Hi Everyone,

My Ultra 10 hangs right after it downloads the kernel from my jumpstart server.
It is getting the DHCP info from the Linux jumpstart server and I can see the
copyright info for Solaris on the Ultra 10. I can see from an tcpdump that the
kernel is being transferred and I see that the Ultra 10 is making NFS mount
requests (and they are suceeding).
Nothing seems to be happening on the Ultra 10.

Any insight is greatly appreciated :-) I'll summarize.

Here's some info that may help (Not sure how this is going to look):

Jumpstart server - Linux (RH9.0)
NFS export -> /export/install/jumpstart/{OS,Begin,Finish,Sysidcfg,rules,rules.ok}

TFTP directory -> SUNW.UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine->inetboot (symlink)
Solaris8-12_2002

Entry from Jumpstart server's dhcpd.conf:
        host pony{
                fixed-address 192.168.3.12;
                hardware ethernet 08:00:20:fa:5b:66;
                option host-name "pony";
                vendor-option-space SUNW;
                option SUNW.sysid-config-file-server
"mason:/export/install/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/Solaris_8";
                option SUNW.JumpStart-server "mason:/export/install/jumpstart";
                option SUNW.install-server-hostname "mason";
                option SUNW.install-server-ip-address 192.168.3.2;
                option SUNW.install-path
"/export/install/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2002-12";
                option SUNW.root-server-hostname "mason";
                option SUNW.root-server-ip-address 192.168.3.2;
                option SUNW.root-path-name
"/export/install/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2002-12/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot";
                }
