Lemme' give a little of what's going on. I have a Sparc4. I don't have the root password for the Sparc4, so it's pretty much useless right now (well, okay it's like a monitor rest). The Sparc doesn't have a floppy or a CDROM. The Sparc has it's IP address (which is a different class let alone network) which isn't compatible with my network. I want to be able to mount a Sparc version of FreeBSD on my working Celeron/FreeBSD box and have the Sparc boot off of that CDROM and install FreeBSD over it's version of Solaris 2.5.1 I don't know if this is possible. I hope it's possible. Please tell me it's possible. Anyone have any ideas? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
