JumpStart problems

Hi All,

Firstoff my JumpStart config is a little unorthodox , I am using a RHEL
4 server

rarpd
nfs
tftp
bootparams installed
what happens is:
I boot the SPARC Ultra-60 (creator 3d )and it tfps down an image (the
screen does a count down assuming kb 38e00)
then I get :
boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
Enter Filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]

indicating it cant find a boot file , I have tried this copying solaris
10 11/16 and solaris 10 03/04 DVDs

doing this:
tar cf - . | (cd /jumpstart/sol10 && tar xfp - )
as per
http://www.docbert.org/Solaris/Jumpstart/linux.html

my config files:

/etc/hosts

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
128.233.22.225 jsclient jsclient.usask.ca
128.233.22.230 jsserv jsserv.usask.ca

/etc/ethers

8:0:20:c3:b4:78 jsclient.usask.ca
08:00:20:c3:b4:78 jsclient.usask.ca

/etc/bootparams
jsclient root=128.233.22.230:/jumpstart/sol10/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot
install=128.233.22.230:/jumpstart/sol10 boottype=:in

after tar(ing) over 2 different dvd images (sol10 11/06 and sol10 03/04)
I tried just mounting the dvd

mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /jumpstart/sol10

still no luck . The Jumpstart host is an IBM X series 346 with a new
DVDrom drive

as well here is what my tftpboot dir looks like

[root@lovell rwm132]# cd /tftpboot
[root@lovell tftpboot]# ls -la
total 3308
