Jumpstart Failing

Hello,

I have a jumpstart server which installs the Solaris OS without any problems
to systems on the same subnet. I am attempting to do an install using the
jumpstart server on a different subnet, and get the following output (where
xxx.xxx.34.xxx is the IP of the jumpstart server):

Rebooting with command: boot net - install
Boot device: /pci@8,700000/network@5,1: File and args: - install
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
2aa00
Requesting Ethernet address for: xxx.xxx.34.xxx
panic - boot: Could not mount filesystem.
Program terminated

The host is on subnet 36. As I stated, the server has no problems with
installs on the same subnet.

Here is a the bootparams entry:
bootparams:client.subdomain.domain.edu root=
server.subdomain.domain.edu:/auto_install/Solaris-9-09-2005/auto_install/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot
install=
server.subdomain.domain.edu:/auto_ins tall/Solaris-9-09-2005/auto_install
install_config=server.subdomain.domain.edu:/auto_install/Solaris-9-09-2005/auto_install_config
sysid_config=
server.subdomain.domain.edu:
/auto_install/Solaris-9-09-2005/auto_install_config boottype=:in ns=
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx domainname='YP.xxx.domain.edu'

One thing to note, the problem may be the system. I attempted to do a cdrom
install, and the system hangs.

Rebooting with command: boot cdrom
Boot device: /pci@8,700000/scsi@6/disk@6,0:f File and args:
SunOS Release 5.9 Version Generic_118558-34 64-bit

Using RPC Bootparams for network configuration information.

I don't know if they are related, but if they are, I would love to solve
both. Any assistance you can provide would be great!

Very Respectfully,
Cesar Covarrubias
