    Hi all,

    I am having problems jumpstarting an E450. The jumpstart server has
    been used to successfully jumpstart around 20 machines already (Ultra 5,
    E220), and other machines still jumpstart without problems. In fact I'm
    fairly certain I have jumpstarted this particular machine in the past.
    The problem with the E450 seems to be happening at or after the whoami
    line seen on the console:

    ...
    Copywright 1983-2001 Sun Microsystems, Inc All rights reserved.
    whoami: no domain name
    ..hang..

    I thought maybe it was just slow, but I left it like this over night and
    it hadn't progressed by the morning.

    <ethers>
    08:00:20:b2:76:da db-e1
    </ethers>

    <hosts>
    172.17.128.234 db-e1
    </hosts>

    <bootparams>
    db-e1 root=deploy1:/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2002-02/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot
    install=deploy1:/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2002-02 boottype=:in
    sysid_config=deploy1:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/Solaris_8
    install_config=deploy1:/jumpstart rootopts=:rsize=32768
    </bootparams>

    A snoop of the traffic at this point shows :

    <snoop>
    ...
          deploy1 -> db-e1 TCP D=1023 S=2049 Ack=30035194
    Seq=2892135500 Len=1460 Win=24820
          deploy1 -> db-e1 TCP D=1023 S=2049 Ack=30035194

            db-e1 -> deploy1 TCP D=2049 S=1023 Ack=2892125280
    Seq=30035194 Len=0 Win=24820
            db-e1 -> deploy1 TCP D=2049 S=1023 Ack=2892136960

    Seq=30035674 Len=0 Win=24820
    </snoop>

    A successful jumpstart looks exactly the same at this point, but then
    carries on. I'm stumped.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Alex..
