Weird Jumpstart problem

I have a Jumpstart server (for Solaris 2.7, the server itself is running
8). I've used it for five or six installations without problems, until one
day it started dumping me into the standard interactive install (choose a
language, etc.) Upon investigation the only error message I could find
turns out to be in /var/sadm/system/logs/sysidtool.log:

  autobind ns type: fail

I have absolutely no idea what this means, and Google doesn't return
anything useful. This occurs both with no 'ns' parameter in
/etc/bootparams and with 'ns=:none' (I'm installing in a network with no
usable nameservers.)

As far as I know, the only thing that could have changed after the last
successful installation is the IP address of the Jumpstart server. I have
already tried sys-unconfig with no luck.

Does anyone have any idea what could possibly cause this?
