Problem jumpstarting a Solaris 9 SPARC from Solaris 10 x86

Hi all,

I'm going to install a couple of servers using Jumpstart, but I've run
into a problem so I'm kinda in panic.

This is the net boot:
Executing last command: boot net - install
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1 File and args: - install
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
29200 panic - boot: Could not mount filesystem.
Program terminated
ok

I've setup the jumpstart server on my x86 PC, which is Solaris 10 final
with JET 3.7.3. Since I'm jumpstarting Solaris 9 onto a SPARC machine, I
had to do copy_solaris_media over NFS, since I can't mount the SPARC
ISO-CD1 on my x86. The install server seems to be OK, at least it didn't
complain during setup.

The log entry from sniffing the JS server:
3266 1:15:25.48103 aaa -> xxx WHO C port=33345
3267 1:15:25.48427 aaa -> xxx WHO C port=33345
3268 1:15:25.48636 aaa -> xxx WHO C port=33345

3275 1:15:25.49867 aaa -> xxx PORTMAP R GETPORT port=32775

/etc/bootparams:
xxx root=aaa:/opt/install/media/Solaris_9/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot
install=192.168.4.5:/opt/install/media/Solaris_9 boottype=:in
sysid_config=192.168.4.5:/opt/jet/Clients/xxx
install_config=192.168.4.5:/opt/jet rootopts=:rsize
32768
term=:vt100

Any idea what could be wrong? It stops at 29200, wheres Solaris 10 runs
further up to 38000 something.

Jumpstarting the Solaris 10 onto the same SPARC works perfectly, using
the exact same configuration files.
