I get the following error on the jumpstart client
panic - boot: Could not mount filesystem
1. From snoop ethers <client> on bootserver
it seems it's trying to resolve jumpstart IP and getting no reply
2. I made sure the root file system is shared
3. ethers and hosts files are correct
What else should I look for?
Thanks
Anna
Reverse name resolution can be a problem.The client's IP address has to reverse resolve to a name, and that name has to match the entry in /etc/bootparams.
It's difficult to tell from your post where the IP resolution is having a problem. Is it immediately during the initial RARP, or is it later (before or after the TFTP load) (I'm assuming after).
Showing the last few snoop lines might help.

[[[<client> (broadcast) ARP C Who is <jumpstart>?]]]
do you have local-mac-address? set to false?
Also, I would do an "rm_install_client" and an "add_install_client" and try boot net'ing again.
Also, could you do a boot net - v install
and paste the output here?
