panic - boot: Could not mount filesystem.
program terminated
ok
Normally this is a result of the bootparams not being able to get to the install
image.
The second problem is that other users have had the same error message, with the
additional message:
’Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet...’
Action
To solve the first problem:
1. Check how the dfstab(4) (/etc/dfs/dfstab on the install image NFS server)
looks:
share -F nfs -o ro,anon=o /jumpstart-dir
2. Run share(1M) command on the installed image NFS server, to make sure it is
shared properly.
3. Check /etc/bootparams file on the net install server. Look for entries with
incorrect boot path.
4. Make sure that /usr/sbin/rpc.bootparamd is running on the boot server. If
necessary, kill and restart it.
5. Check /etc/ethers on the boot server for duplicate or conflicting entries
6. At OK prompt, run test net /test-net and/or watch net /watch-net to test the
network connectivity
A workaround for the second problem is to check the nsswitch.conf(4) file. If
some of the entries point to NIS such as:
rpc nis files
hosts nis files
ethers nis files
bootparams files
nis
