Install over the network

Hi folks,

I haven't resolve my problem yet concerning the install over the
network, I've tried many solutions but none of them was successful.
Here is again an abstract of what I 've done and the results I've
obtained.
Just to specify I 'm working on the same subnet so no need of boot
server.

On the install server :
Insert CD 1/2
cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris8/Tools
./setup_install_server /proj/Solaris_install
eject CD 1/2
Insert CD 2/2
cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris8/Tools
./add_to_install_server /proj/Solaris_install
Insert CD boot
cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0
./modify_install_server /proj/Solaris_install /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Boot
At the end of this command I 've got these 2 sentences:
Setup Complete
Kill:14580: no such process

I'm not used to see this message before.

I add the ethernet adress of the client machine to the /etc/ethers of
the server

cd /proj/Solaris_install
./add_install_client -e 8:0:24:9b:c8:95 -n sunhy:nis titan sun4u

On the client machine(titan) at the ok prompt:
boot net -install

Here is the message
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
2a00 Warning:boot will not enable cache
Enter filename [Kernel/sparcv9/unix]

What's the problem please ?

I've tried to see with a another client machine installed with the same
method few months ago but always the same problem; the only thing I've
changed is the install server directory.

Thanks a lot!!
