SUMMARY: Sun Blade 1500 bge interface configuration

Thanks to all who for your replies and especially Rob Brown.

The problem:
I was unable to configure the boot image on my jumpstart server to boot a
server with a bge interface set at 100Mbps full duplex.


Solution:
Issue to following boot command from the "ok" prompt:

ok boot net:speed=100,duplex=full - install

Regards,
