I have used; http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/sparc64/install.html instead of downloading the loader, recursively copy /boot from the freebsd sparc64 install cd into /tftpboot. You don't have to worry about the userland download. Just nfs share /tftpboot to the servers ip and make sure the /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers, /etc/bootptab are properly populated; here are my working examples; [craig@b100:/tftpboot] $ cat /etc/hosts | grep blade0 10.0.0.20 blade0 [craig@b100:/tftpboot] $ cat /etc/exports /tftpboot -alldirs -maproot=0 -network 10.0.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 [craig@b100:/tftpboot] $ cat /etc/ethers 00:03:ba:2a:11:b8 blade0 [craig@b100:/tftpboot] $ cat /etc/bootptab .default:\ :bf="kernel":dn=local:ds=10.0.0.1:\ :gw=10.0.0.1:ht=ether:hd="/tftpboot/boot/kernel":hn:\ :rp="10.0.0.10:/tftpboot":\ :sm=255.255.255.0 blade0:ht=1:ha=0003ba2a11b8:tc=.default:ip=10.0.0.20: Once all that is done and boot net issue to the sun you should see the standard sysinstall... treat it like a normal install from there.
