It is feasible to netboot a Sparc machine from any other machine that runs FreeBSD. But I wouldn't call it easy - at least not if you haven't done netbooting of machines with Open Firmware before. Here is an article I wrote a long time ago: Netbooting a Sun machine from a FreeBSD machine http://geekinfo.net/article.php?story=20041101004514224 HTH -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
