Very sorry to have taken so long to reply.
Kevin Amorin's answer seems to cover the problem (his paragraph 2.).
I'm going to rebuild jumpstart and try again.
Thanks, thanks thanks.....

helped,


"   1. You don't have an entry in your install station for the system
you are installing.  Easy one to debug and fix.
    2. This one is trickier.  Your miniroot (Solaris_XX/Tools/Boot)
may be buggered.  Specifically, the file Tools/Boot/etc/inet/hosts may
have been clobbered from a symbolic link to the desired host file
(../../tmp/root/etc/inet/hosts) into a real file with entries for
localhost and the first installed system to overwrite the file.  This
can happen if you're doing installs over the network and you had the
directory NFS shared read-write (rw) instead of read-only (ro).  The
weird thing is this will work just fine for the first system you
install (it's hostname info gets put in the file) and then it will
fail for all other installs with the error you saw.  To fix this you
need to repair your Tools/Boot miniroot... you can try to find all the
files that got mangled or just cpio in a whole new miniroot from a
known good copy.
