SUMMARY: Jumpstart 64 bit problem

I didn't get many replies but thanks to those who did.

This was on Solaris 8 by the way.

I found the problem myself in the end....

I add the 64 bit packages to my profile and then set the boot-file to
kernel/sparcv9/unix in the ok prompt.

# To Support 64 bit
package         SUNWesxu        add
package         SUNWcarx        add
package         SUNWcslx        add
package         SUNWcsxu        add

package         SUNWpdx         add
package         SUNWnamox       add

OK > setenv boot-file kernel/sparcv9/unix

Original question...

Hi,

I am trying to install a client with 64 bit via jumpstart. The box is a
Sun Ultra 60 which I know can run 64 bit.

I have added the isa_bits 64 to my profile yet it still only installs
32 bit. Does anyone know why ?

Here is my profile ...
