I've got two machines
1) Intel i386 Arch running FreeBSD
2) Sun Sparcstation 1 (running nothing)

I'm trying to get the sun to boot over the net, into an OpenBSD bootfile.
When I break into the rom monitor on the sun, and type boot net, it sits 
and waits and then gives me messages about how its getting a timeout 
waiting for an arp/rarp reply. I have rarpd going, but it doesn't seem to be 
answering the sun's requests.

When I run rarpd /dev/ed0 I get "BIOCSETIF : Device not configured"
When I run rarpd -a it seems to work just fine...
I'm guessing its possibly a problem with rarpd, so is there a way to tell 
the sun to hit my machine specifically?

If anyone has a similar setup to what I want to do, please let me know :)
