Using RARP/BOOTPARAMS…
Internet address is: x.x.252.179
hostname: foo28
domainname: nis.dev.foo.com
Found x.x.252.201 @ 0:3:ba:5:5b:91
root server: foo43 (x.x.252.201)
root directory: /cdrom/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot
panic - boot: Could not mount filesystem.
Program terminated
ok
In my case, the key was the system foo43 which was running a
rpc.bootparamd with stock values, rather than the customized values required to actually boot. Killing the offinding
rpc.bootparamd left the one on the central bootserver running, and the jumpstart proceeded normally from there.
