Yuri did you get my off list reply ??

the waiting for ARP/RARP is the sparc box doing a boot net,

is rarp running on your intel sever ?  ps axf | grep rarp to confirm...
if it is running is there anything in the intel's /var/log/messages ?

If the intel box can't resolve itself (ie no 127.0.0.1  <hostname>
in /etc/hosts) then rarp falls over -- you'll see error messages
in /var/log/messages

As long as the sparcs mac address is setup correctly in /etc/ethers
and /etc/bootptab.  inetd with tftp and bootp are running and rarp is
running... my instructions should work...

I have just recently used them to build another netboot server here.
