It's hard to give a specific answer when all we have is "I checked this and it looks ok" or "it worked before".
I'd suggest the following, since the process hangs at the remote boot:
1.-Make sure that the jumpstart directory where the boot files are is properly shared.
2.- Remove the client from the jumpstart with rm_install_client
3.- remove everything from the /tftpboot directory
4.- Erase bootparams, ethers, and any host in hosts that doesn't need to be there.
5.- Add the client back, and try the jump again.

rarpd
RARPD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RARPD(8)
NAME
rarpd -- reverse ARP daemon
SYNOPSIS
rarpd -a [-dfsv] [-t directory] [-P pidfile]
rarpd [-dfsv] [-t directory] [-P pidfile] interface
DESCRIPTION
The rarpd utility services Reverse ARP requests on the Ethernet connected to interface. Upon receiving a request, rarpd maps the target
hardware address to an IP address via its name, which must be present in both the ethers(5) and hosts(5) databases. If a host does not exist
in both databases, the translation cannot proceed and a reply will not be sent.
By default, a request is honored only if the server (i.e., the host that rarpd is running on) can "boot" the target; that is, a file or
directory matching the glob /tftpboot/ipaddr* exists, where ipaddr is the target IP address in hex. For example, the IP address
204.216.27.18 will be replied to if any of /tftpboot/CCD81B12, /tftpboot/CCD81B12.SUN3, or /tftpboot/CCD81B12-boot exist. This requirement
can be overridden with the -s flag (see below).
In normal operation, rarpd forks a copy of itself and runs in the background. Anomalies and errors are reported via syslog(3).
The following options are available:
-a Listen on all the Ethernets attached to the system. If -a is omitted, an interface must be specified.
-d If -f is also specified, rarpd logs messages to stdout and stderr instead of via syslog(3).
-f Run in the foreground.
-P Specify the pathname of the PID file. If not specified, /var/run/rarpd.pid or /var/run/rarpd.ifname.pid will be used depending on
the -a flag or the specified interface name.
-s Supply a response to any RARP request for which an ethernet to IP address mapping exists; do not depend on the existence of
/tftpboot/ipaddr*.
-t Supply an alternate tftp root directory to /tftpboot, similar to the -s option of tftpd(8). This permits rarpd to selectively
respond to RARP requests, but use an alternate directory for IP checking.
-v Enable verbose syslogging.
FILES
/etc/ethers
/etc/hosts
/tftpboot
/var/run/rarpd.pid

BUGS
The rarpd utility can depend on the DNS to resolve the name discovered from /etc/ethers. If this name is not in the DNS but is in
/etc/hosts, the DNS lookup can cause a delayed RARP response, so in this situation it is recommended to configure nsswitch.conf(5) to read
/etc/hosts first.
