That 0:14:4f:fb:8a:f9 is the MAC address that the LDoms is using when it net-boots. Either a +different+ MAC address has been used in the add_install_client (so the jumpstart server doesn't respond to this request), or there is a lack of connectivity between the domain and the jumpstart server. If the control domain is the jumpstart server you have an extra complication, because (by default) the control domain can't be reached from a guest domain. The other usual reason is specifying the wrong MAC address in the add_install_client. What version of LDoms are you using, and what MAC address is displayed in "ldm list --long" for this domain?
