V240, qfe and network boot

Managers,

I have an new V240 in which I installed a Quad Fast Ethernet interface
(tried both PCI 0 and PCI 1). When doing:

        boot /pci@1d,700000/pci@1/SUNW,qfe@0,1

in the boot prom, it says:

        Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet

The link light on the ethernet port is on and when trying the same
UTP cable on the bge0 interface, it just boots like a charm. The
cable is attached to a Cisco 3548 switch and I tried all the obvious
settings (100/full, 10/half, auto/auto. Fast port is enabled).

Why does the V240 not boot from the qfe interface?

Will summarize.
