Hi Jeffrey,
I think Mary is on vacation, so I will try to answer
your questions.

At time of being, you can boot sparc microroot from disk,
boot from net is currently work in progress.
In order to boot from disk, you need to have disk formatted
with UFS filesystem (I have Nevada 102 installed on AI client).
Then you can copy sparc microroot on that disk and boot it from
OBP in following way (assuming it is located in /sparc.microroot):
{14} ok boot disk -kv -F /sparc.microroot
The list of things which are currently work in progress:
* net boot + DHCP
* mechanism for passing information about location of
AI net archives and service name to AI
* IPS sparc repo
* ICT stuff
However, this list is evolving. The best approach
to keep track of changes is to follow discussions on
this mailing list.
What can be tested:
* booting microroot from disk
* dowloading and mounting AI archives
* target discovery
* target instantiation
* pkg(1M) operations

I have successfully tried on T1000 and T5220.

To give the example, I use following configuration:
AI server:
* x4100 installed with 2008.11
AI clients:
* T1000 (8GB RWM)
* T5220 (1GB RWM)
AI server is configured in the same way as for x86 client,
just using ai-dec5.iso (or aisparc_200mb_pad.iso).

Karen recently released new image for testing
(available only internally):
/net/osol-bldsp/rpool/ktung/dc-ai200/media/aisparc_200mb_pad.iso
Modified microroot can be downloaded from following location
(available only internally):
/net/10.18.138.30/rpool/ai/test/sparc.microroot
Modifications done:
* workaround for bug 5281 applied
* live-fs-root modified (needs to be accommodated for other
testing environment)
- network interface configured
- location of AI net archives hardcoded
- it can be pulled from following place (available only internally)
/net/10.18.138.30/rpool/ai/test/live-fs-root.sparc
Please feel free to let me know if you have more questions
or need more information.
Thank you,
Jan
