Just one question, which is your Solaris box, sparc or x86 ?
There is a "network byte order" problem.

I implicitly thought it was a sparc.
But if it is an x86, the macros like htons(), htonl()
in sun-rbootd-1.1 source are not complete now.

Please modify the source, apply the htons(), htonl().. macros
to certain places.

(I have no x86 box, so I cannot check "network byte order")
