Try reading the JavaStation HOWTO-- it describes the procedures for
creating diskless client images. It is light on net-booting
information, but you should be able to find those specifics elsewhere.

Hello gentlemen ,
I 'd need help to build a kernel wich be abble to boot via the network
(ethernet LAN) for diskless stations .
Stations are Sun Ultra5 . The boot server is a x86 .
I dont use debian sparc but gentoo sparc , but i heard i would need
elftoaout and/or piggyback64 (those tools are from the debian project)
to build the netbootable kernel ...
searching on google i did not find "great" tutorial or documents that
explains me what to do and what it does when i do it ... ( may be i
searched the wrong way)
Would you help me to build it ? i already have _the_ kernel image
embeding nfsroot support , rarp , NIC driver , ... then what is the next
step before i upload it to the tftp server ?
PS If you have any easy to understand and recent document setting up a
tftp-rarp-bootp x86 server i would be glad (my x86 server is runnung
slack ... plz dont troll on this :-) )
Thank you in advance for your help .
