Netra X1, DHCP jumpstart install

    We've been having an issue with using jumpstart with our Netra
X1's. Recently we migrated from the std. RARP boot to a DHCP boot. We
have been getting the following errors. On one system it seemed to
clear up mysteriously (or at least I can figure out what I did :) ).

When booting we get the following:

ok boot net:dhcp - install
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ethernet@c:dhcp File and args: - install
Timeout waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply. Retrying ...

Failed to receive config params

TFTP server's IP address not known!

    We do have the correct definitions in the dhcp server (Sun dhcp),
and the machine is being assigned the entry. I wanted to see if others
had encountered this problem, before I dive too deep.

    Thanks,
