We had a problem with jumpstart/NFS setup; perhaps similar to yours?

It was related to non-standard net masks (i.e. 192.168.0.0/255.255.252.0 is not 
class-C). While DHCP provided the correct options and parts of the installer 
loaded ok, then it reset the networking settings to "correct" ones per 
network's class (snoop showed that broadcasts went to 192.168.1.255 instead of 
192.168.3.255, etc).

While this problem was googled as valid for old releases, we were surprised to 
trigger in Solaris 10u4 (8/07).

A working solution was to separate the setup/mgmt network to a correctly 
classed one (i.e. 192.168.16.0/24) on a separate interface (with individual MAC 
address for DHCP/TFTP purposes).
