    Hi again gurus.

    Yet another question. I've followed the docs at
    docs.sun.com to setup a jumpstart server at
    http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-5205. This goes well
    to a point. I'm getting the new machine to boot, but
    it only gets to a # prompt, and the status symbol (the
    rotating /|\-) appears. The machine is networked, but
    I never get prompted to do anything. The error I'm
    getting is this:

    ERROR: bpgetfile unable to access network information.
     This is frustrating. I wasn't able to find the
    solution at google, docs.sun.com. or anywhere else.
    Ideas? Thanks again!

    Grant
