Problems Installing Solaris 8 over the network

Hi,

I'm trying to install Solaris 8 to a Netra X1 using:

* Install Server (Ultra 450, Solaris 8, 2 network interfaces) & DHCP server
both on the same box.

I already have the install server configured and the VENDOR attributes on
the DHCP server registered for the client in order to know how to find the
install server. After booting the client (boot net:dhcp -install)
everything seems to be ok but unfortunately the Netra X1 goes to panic
displaying the next information:

Requesting Ethernet address for: 200.200.100.137
Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]:
Enter default directory for modules [/platform/SUNW,UltraAX-i2/kernel
/platform/sun4u/kernel /kernel /usr/kernel]:

SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_108528-13 64-bit
Copyright 1983-2001 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
NOTICE: dmfe0: PHY 1 link up 100 Mbps Full-Duplex
NOTICE: dmfe1: PHY 1 link down
WARNING: pmap_kgetport: Portmapper not responding; still trying

panic[cpu0]/thread=30001067ba0: Can't invoke , error 2

I'm installing using a console, no monitors, no graphic interface.
Does any one has seen this problem before?
Any hint?

Thanks in advance

Saul Santos
