Hi,

Is there anything like TILO, the Trivial Image LOader:

"used for building a simple TFTP boot loader which embodies several
kernel images for different Sun architectures and a ramdisk root image.
The images are gzip-ped to minimize memory usage."
http://silo.sourceforge.net/tilo.shtml

for NetBSD on SPARC?

I have SPARCs without floppy drives and think it would be great to be
able to TFTP boot a backup/recovery tool like g4u
(http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/) or any of the other single floppy backup
tools.  It would be just like booting a recovery disk, but instead of
getting the image from the floppy, it would get it via TFTP, and since
this is built into the SPARC PROM you could do this with a box that has
a dead HD.

I've been searching around and based on the NetBSD network install
method that requires NFS it does not seem like there is something like
this for NetBSD.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
DJ
