    Alright, I'm trying to jump a box on a network where I cannot have a
    DHCP server, so I'm left with using good old bootp/bootparams to get
    the jumpstart moving.

    The issue is that my NFS server with my Solaris install images is off
    on another IP network, so I need to get the box that I'm jumping a
    default route. I *heard* that you can do that as part of the
    bootparams entry, but Googling has not helped me uncover the syntax
    I'm looking for or even confirmed that it's possible.

    Naturally, the box is getting so far as to boot the miniroot (this is
    on a local server) but of course the jumpstart fails when it tries to
    go mount the NFS server on the other network so that it can install
    the OS.

    Any hints?

    TIA,
    /dale
