I am trying to set up Solaris 10 on a laptop over the LAN. I followed
the directions at docs.sun.com to set up the x86 install server, then
did: "add_install_client -d -s server_name:/export/install_files
SUNW.i86pc i86pc" and followed the directions it printed for setting
up the dhcpd macros and options. When I try to boot a client the dhcp
offer never gets accepted. What might I be doing wrong? Here is a
trace from the dhcp server:
