M5000 boot net- install failed

Good evening all,I'm new to your site, so please bear any infringements or transgressions on my part.I'm new to the whole Solaris boot install over the net scenario, but here's where I'm stuck:I have an M5000 with 2 domains (running unimode). Domain 0 is configured and running Solaris 10. Domain 1 has no OS. There is only one DVD on the system and is accessible from one domain at a time (and requires system board swapping). It can be maide accessible to the other domain but that requires the running side to be shutdown (which I cannot do).So I've created a jumpstart server and it "looks" like it's working. (I get rpcinfo replies from it)It is said that to boot the domain over the net simply type:boot net - installfrom the o prompt. This done from XSCF, I get the dreaded "Can't locate boot device"immediately on pressing return. Makes me think that it's not even trying to look on the network for the Jumpstart server...All suggestions welcome and thanks in advanceRS

asadmin-stop-domain(1AS)					   User Commands					  asadmin-stop-domain(1AS)

NAME

       asadmin-stop-domain, stop-domain - stops the given domain

SYNOPSIS

       stop-domain [--domaindir install_dir/domains][--terse=false] [--echo=false] [domain_name]

       stop-domain  stops the specified domain. If there is only one domain in the default domain directory (install_dir/domains), then no operand
       is required to stop the domain. However, if there is more than one domain, the domain operand must be specified. This command is  supported
       in local mode only.

OPTIONS

       --domaindir	       directory where the domain is to be stopped. If specified, path must be accessible in the filesystem. If not speci-
			       fied, the domainis stopped in the default install_dir/domains directory.

       --terse		       indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-
			       formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

       --echo		       setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

OPERANDS

       domain_name	       name of the domain. Must be a unique name.

       Example 1: Using stop-domain

       asadmin> stop-domain sampleDomain
       Stoping Domain sampleDomain, please wait
       Domain sampleDomain stopped
       Command stop-domain executed successfully

       Where: the sampleDomain domain in the default domains directory is stopped.

EXIT STATUS

       0		       command executed successfully

       1		       error in executing the command
