I'm trying to jump start a new Sun Server from an existing jump start server, but this last machine is giving me driver errors :s
It doesn't make sense as we've built a few of these exact same servers just recently, but this last one displays:
"No driver (or driver binding) was found for the interface used to boot.
A driver (or driver binding) may be available in an updated or patch from
Sun, or from the interface vendor."
Has anyone seen this error before? From the research I've done it suggests that I have to unpack the miniboot and add in the missing driver, but we have over a dozen of these X4-2's which have jump started just fine.

When booting via network I get the following message:
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
I ran "snoop" on the server:

start-instance
asadmin-start-instance(1AS) User Commands asadmin-start-instance(1AS)NAME
asadmin-start-instance, start-instance - starts a server instance and all the services associated with it
SYNOPSIS
start-instance [--user admin_user] [--password admin_password] [--host local_host] [--port 4848] [--local=false] [--domain domain_name]
[--debug=false] [--passwordfile filename] [--secure|-s] instance_name
Use the start-instance command to start an instance with the instance name you specify. The start-instance command can be run both locally
and remotely. To start locally, with a domain name identified, the named instance must already exist within that domain. To start
remotely, the administration server must be running on the hostname and port number specified. The user authenticates using the password
identified for the administration server.
OPTIONS --user administrative user associated for the instance.
--password administrative password corresponding to the administrative user.
--host host name of the machine hosting the administrative instance.
--port administrative port number associated with the administrative host.
--local determines if the command should delegate the request to administrative instance or run locally.
--domain name of the domain.
--debug starts the instance in debug mode.
--passwordfile file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance).
--secure if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance.
OPERANDS
instance_name name of the instance to be started.
Example 1: Using start-instance in local mode
asadmin> start-instance --domain domain1 admin-server
Instance admin-server started
Where: the admin-server instance is started on the local domain1 domain.
Example 2: Using start-instance in remote mode
asadmin> start-instance --user admin --password bluestar --host localhost --port 4848 server1
