I'm attempting to perform a network install of OpenSolaris to a  
SunFire x4500 (thumper) which does not have a local dvd. I setup an  
install server on another X86 system, created manifests etc.. When I  
boot the X4500, I get the grub menu, which is nice and I think a good  
sign. However pressing the enter key starts to load the kernel but  
aborts with the message:

"error 20 mutliboot kernel must be loaded before modules"

I've done some googling, but not finding anything useful in this area.

If I try to load this from the command line, something seems to load  
(a few dots appear on the screen) and there's no errors reported when  
the kernel$ line executes. But when running the module line, I still  
get the error 20.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
