To boot the client from the WAN with the boot net, the net device alias must be set to the client's primary network device. At the client ok prompt, type the devalias command to verify that the net alias is set to the primary network device /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1.
ok devalias screen /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2 net /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1 net2 /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@5,1 disk /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/disk@0,0 cdrom /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@d/cdrom@0,0:f keyboard /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ebus@1/su@14,3083f8 mouse /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ebus@1/su@14,3062f8
In the previous output example, the primary network device /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1 is assigned to the net alias. You do not need to reset the alias.
