Dear Managers

Experiencing a problem with a new jumpstart server from which I'm trying to
jumpstart a new sunfire v100 (Sun Fire V100 (UltraSPARC-IIe 648MHz))
The boot image is taken from solaris_8 (2/02), no patches have been applied.
All directories and shares are ok and the jumpstart servers are running.
I've found similar problems reported in the archives but these occur when
jumpstarting X1's.

The point of failure is seen below.

 Executing last command: boot net - install
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ethernet@c File and args: - install
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_108528-13 64-bit

Skipping interface dmfe1
Configured interface dmfe0
Usage:

mount [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
        {special | mount_point}
mount [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
        special mount_point
mount -a [-F FSType ] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
        [mount_point ...]
Unable to mount /cdrom/Solaris_*/Tools/Boot/usr

Any ideas appreciated, I've tried sunsolve as I guess it's a patch problem
but no luck yet?

Best Regards
Chris
