Hi, 
 
I recently got some Sun's. 
 
They are currently running sunos 4.1.1, currently there is only disks on 
one machine, the other 3 boot over the network.
 
I have them booting fine under sunos, I want have a look at NetBSD, and
at the moment I can get no further than tftping and then running the 
netboot program. (it requests its IP address and then just sits and waits)
 
I can find no doco's on setuping up a diskless client, only on booting via 
the net to install NetBSD on the local hdd.
 
can anyone shed some light on whats wrong? etc
 
Thanks..
 
Andrew
