I tried to boot Solaris over the net recently and encountered similar
problem. Since I do not fully understand how bootparamd works my advice
may be of little use to you.
I assume there is some problem with name service here. So try '*' instead
of 'imb545.imb.nrc.ca' in your bootparams file. This way you are allowing
access for all clients. I know it doesn't really solve the problem and is
not applicable if you must netboot several clients with different
configuration. :-(
