Well, I am not entirely sure what you are asking, but here is what I did. You are either asking, how to install a completely diskless Sparc workstation via NFS etc? or you are asking how to install to a Sparc with a hard disk via NFS ro something like that :)
To install to hard disk via NFS I followed the instructions for the TFTP Booting idea, and set it all up on my Slak 3.3 box. The instructions say to use RARP, but never mentioned to also do ARP, which had me wondering why it wouldn't work for a few minutes. Once the Sparc had booted and was I was starting my way thru the install menu, I swapped to another console, logged in, and did the usual ifconfig and route to configure the ipaddress and routes for the system. >From there I just mounted the hamm Sparc stuff ready for install, and chose already mounted partition from the menu and away it went. Setting up a diskless Sparc to boot and do the root file system via NFS thing I have done before, but I wouldn't want to do it again. I would hope there is some easy to unpack filesystem with a configure script of some sort to help someone install multiple filesystems easily :) Let me know if you find one ... if thats what you are meaning :) -----Original Message----- From: Marianovich Felix [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 1998 12:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: A question Hello Everyone!!
