/dev/ was a good hint. I found the problem:
When booting the Solaris system wants to write to the
Boot environment (nasty, isn't it?).
Since the userspace daemon doesn't understand the /etc/exports syntax
of the kernel version, I wrote a different, simplified /etc/exports
for the userspace daemon.
The userspace daemon allowed write access, the kernel version didn't.
That was the problem.

Hi,
I want to jumpstart-install (initial installation of the
Solaris operating system) a sparc machine from a linux server
with kernel 2.6.8.1.
It works when using the nfs-user-server, but the sparc hangs after
printing the OS prompt when using the nfs-kernel-server.
Any idea in how the nfs-user-server and the nfs-kernel-server differ
and how to fix it?
regards
Hadmut
