I am having a problem setting up a network install server.
I am running 2.3 with major patches; Sparc 10 is the server.

I have copied the cdrom files to disk (setup_install_server script)
and ran the setup_install_client script. The client will get its ip
address and hostname, download the boot file, but then it hangs.
It eventually times out with a RPC error: no bootparam server responding.

Snoop (great program, buy the way) shows that the server just won't
talk back.

If anyone has seen this problem and knows of a fix, please share the wealth.

Thanks,
Gary B

A common mistake is to use the unqualified name when
gethostbyaddr returns de FQDN or vice versa.
