Precisions on Solaris x86 Jumpstart/PXE

I am still struggling with the Jumpstart of my new v65x from a SPARC
based Jumpstart/Boot server. Now I get:

    Intel(R) Boot Agent Version 1.1.08
    Copyright (C) 1997-2002, Intel Corporation

    CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 0E 0C 08 66 C0 GUID: 32CA5826 279D 11D8 BE6B 00108365A7E7
    CLIENT IP: 129.77.101.33 MASK: 255.255.255.0 DHCP IP: 129.77.101.154
    GATEWAY IP: 129.77.101.254

    Solaris network boot ...

    No valid response to DHCPREQUEST packet.
    Type <ENTER> to retry DHCPDISCOVER or <ctrl-C> to interrupt network boot ...

I have pretty much followed the TFM:

 - ran the add_install_client
 - checked the files in /tftpboot
 - added a network_ip macro to my DHCP server (which is also my
   Jumpstart and boot server)
 - added a PXE macro to my DHCP server
 - added a client entry which includes the network_ip macro
 - added all the vendor options to the network_ip macro
 - manually started /usr/sbin/rpld

... and now I'm stuck. The DHCP part of the process seem to work but
I think the PXE part doesn't, I never get to load the bootfile.

Anyone really good with these setups?
