[SunHELP] Netra T1 AC200 and jumpstart not working

Wed Mar 6 15:09:50 CST 2002

I have just received a Netra T1 AC200 and like all my other machines, I
use Solaris 8 10/01 to jumpstart them. However, the Netra refuses to
boot with the jumpstart image. I get the following error message:

I have jumped several other machine off of this jumpstart image
including several Ultra 2s, 420Rs and Blade 100s. Therefore, I don't
think my image is corrupt. I'm beginning to believe that the Netra's
don't like Jumpstart (even with Solaris 8 10/01). Have any of you
successfully jumped a Netra T1? Thinking it may have been my patch
routine in jumpstart causing the crashing, I took it out. I got the same
results. I would appreciate any information you may have. One more
thing, I thought the above was also bad hardware. Therefore, I have
replaced the motherboard and RAM and am still getting the same results.
I can boot off of a CD fine.

Thanks
Robert

P.S. I have also tried installing mis.netra-x1.259-3836-03.zip into my
Jumpstart image which did not help.
