Anthony Volodkin did a great writeup for this for Daemon News: http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200301/sparc64-nfsroot.html ... and Anthony's boot loaders are here: http://non-standard.net/freebsd/sparc64-nfsroot/ Murray's original FreeBSD/sparc64 5.0-CURRENT Installation Instructions may also prove useful: http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/sparc64/install.html I used the boot loader from the installation CD, copied the entire CD's contents to the appropriate directory, and netbooted. Worked great. -royce -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Royce D.
