I have what looks like the same problem - I have 4 x E280R, and can
JumpStart Solaris 10 with no problem, but Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 core
dump during the JumpStart.
For Solaris 8 I get this far:
ok boot net - install

on the JumpStart server I get this kind of thing from snoop:

Solaris 9 is very similar - in either case it appears to crash while in
the NFS loading stage. It is quite possible that it is a problem of
having too new an OBP, as I did update all 4 to the latest available. I'd
be interested to know if you found time to try patching the mini-root.

Thanks for the replies. Still no solution to jumpstarting Solaris 8,
though.
Solaris 10 jumpstarts fine, hence I don't think there's any problem with
the
jumpstart server setup.
I have managed to install it, however, by booting Solaris 10 from the
jumpstart server and installing 8. This gets a bit messy and I had to
re-create /dev/ and /devices/ while booted from 10, and I then patched
with
the most recent Recommended set I could get, then I could boot into
Solaris
8.
This has enabled us to do the testing we need for now, but I'd still like
to
get it jumpstarting properly. Vikas pointed out that the hang seems to
occur
during the Qlogics probing which is the one on the motherboard, can't be
removed. From what I've read the firmware for this is included in the OBP
firmware, so I'm wondering if this is too new for the Solaris release.
When I get a chance I might try patching the Solaris 8 mini-root on the
jumpstart server with the newer Recommended set.
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi,
I'm having problems trying to jumpstart an old 280R that I've inherited. I
want Solaris 8 on it for some testing, but I've tried 9 too and that gives
similar problems.
Jumpstart configuration is fine, I think, it gets an IP then snoop reveals
load of NFS activity as expected, then it hangs.
Solaris 8 hangs at:

Anyone seen anything similar ?
