I found a copy of loader-tftp in the meantime (on Thomas' page on people.freebsd.org) so I will be able try that as soon as I can put a non-Solaris box into that network. After reading the manpage, I have to conclude that the rpc.bootparamd of Solaris is too braindead to be used for booting a FreeBSD/sparc64 system over the network; and I do not want to install additional software (ISC-DHCP) on the boxes in that network. Fortunately, my Laptop runs FreeBSD just fine :-) BTW, you can add the Netra T1 100 to the list of supported systems, it is identical to the T1 105 except for the power supply (T1 100 is DC, T1 105 is AC). /s/Udo -- It's always a long day, 86400 doesn't fit into a short.
