I now tried a "verbose" boot:

Rebooting with command: boot net -v - install
Boot device: /pci@8,700000/network@5,1: File and args: -v - install
38e00 Using RARP/BOOTPARAMS...
Internet address is: 10.0.1.22
hostname: sys02.unx
domainname: unx
Found 10.0.1.21 @ 0:3:ba:47:2a:3
root server: sys01.unx (10.0.1.21)
root directory: /data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/install/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot
boot: lookup /data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/install/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot failed
panic - boot: Could not mount filesystem.
Program terminated

Here we see, that it finds the correct server (10.0.1.21 or sys01).
But for some reason or the other "lookup" fails. What does that
indicate?

When the system is normally booted (there's S10 on it right now), I
can NFS mount the root directory just fine.

I also tried making the root directory be in a "shorter" path (ie.
/data/s10-install). And I also tried changing the sharenfs property
to ro,anon=0. Both things didn't change a thing

What is actually failing here? And why?

Thanks a lot,

Michael
