jumpstart + nfs failure halfway?

hi folks,

i have (open)solaris 11 build 44 (x86) acting as a jumpstart server
for some sparc
systems (v120, v240). i am jumpstarting solaris 9 (5/05)

with the small jumpstart config i normally use (<1GB) the installation
has worked fine.

with larger package sets (eg SUNWCall & SUNWCprog) the NFS connection is failing
part-way through installation.

after installing about 800MB, the jumpstart process stops with
"NFS server not responding, still trying"

i have tried:

 - 2 different jumpstart servers (one IBM PC, one HP DL380 server)
 - 2 different client systems (v240, v120)

jumpstarting solaris 10 *works* successfully

any suggestiosn on what might be happening here? do i have some
bizarre NFS versioning getting in the way?

tia
