Sunfire V120 hangs during jumpstart.

Hi,

I have an urgent problem jump starting a SunFire v120. The client
being jumpstarted hangs without ever really getting booted. Other
Ultra5 machines jumpstart fine from the same server. The server
is another SunFire v120 built from Solaris 8 2/04 media, this
same media was used to load the jumpstart software.

It appears the boot is hanging around or just after it NFS
mounts the stuff it needs.

boot net - install -w

Doing this again with the "-v" option:-
boot net -v install -w results in.....
