Solaris 10 jumpstart question - boot server and install server on different machines

Hi,

I am trying to jumpstart a Sunblade 2000 with Solaris 10. The jumpstart
install server is on a different subnet than my sunblade, so I created a
boot server on the same subnet.

When I try "boot net -s", it hangs after the following lines:

Using RPC bootparams for network configuration information.

Attempting to configure interface eri0...

Configured interface eri0

/

At this point, I stop seeing traffic in snoop on my boot server, but I
never see anything in snoop on my install server. I have never done a
jumpstart where the boot and install server were different servers.
This is my /etc/bootparams file entry. Is this correct for a boot
server?

builder4.syr.edu
root=data-4:/export/os-cd/5.10-0606/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot \

install=ncwis03:/export/os-cd/5.10
install_config=ncwis03:/export/install/5.10 \

sysid_config=ncwis03:/export/install/5.10/sysidcfg-local/subnet4 \

boottype=:in rootopts=:rsize=32768 term=:sun
ns=data-4:nis(255.255.255.0)

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Nicole
