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         SUNWhmdx        add
package         SUNWkvmx        add
package         SUNWlmsx        add
package         SUNWlocx        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 ...
