1.I wish to perform a Jumpstart installation, the client being Ultra 5 Sparc
and jumpstart Server being ultra 20 AMD system.
2.I think i have done all the procedures right, like putting the mac address of Sparc 1 to /etc/ethers, creating sysidcfg file, and profile file:
3.When I issued the boot net - install from sparc and issued the following command from jumpstart server
The jumpstart server hangs after the following line:

Code:

sparc1 -> amd1 SYSLOG C port=32867 BAD.FMT:

4.I googled and find the following link, but could not get a solution:
