OK ,
alot of people answered me and suggested serveral solutions ,
basicly solaris checks teh kernel on every boot and if it doesn't supports
64bit it will boot from 32bit,
nevertheless , other answers I got were :
1. add the the class file on the jumpstart the line : "isa_bits 32"
2. some suggested to add to a finish script the eeprom command:
eeprom "boot-file=kernel/unix" .
3. i guess there is a way to upgrade the PROM to support 64bit , but i
havn't
tried to do so .
