I'm trying to do install Solaris 2.6 on Sparc from a Linux
box. The /etc/bootparams contains this:

192.168.6.200 is a VAXStation running NetBSD 1.5.2
192.168.6.1 is a PC with Red Hat 8. Moving from
SuSE 8 to Red Hat 8 seems to have fixed the problem 
I has having with it PC earlier. 

sparkles root=192.168.6.200:/exports/Solaris2.6_Boot \
        install=192.168.6.1:/home/exports/Solaris2.6 \
        domain=foo \
        boottype=:in \
        root_opts=:rsize=8192 \
        ns=192.168.6.1 \


I get this:
