I've been following all of the netbooting stuff
and I'm now slightly excited. I've got several 5000/25's
that I would like to run NetBSD on, but unfortunately
I don't have a "play" machine to test NetBSD. I do have
a 5000/25 with a dead internal SCSI bus (external Ultrix
drives work great, but I don't have a spare drive now)
that I would love to Netboot (and eventually netrun?)
from an Ultrix box.
Anyway, I know a lot has changed recently, can someone
summarize the netboot procedure, and what's broken with a
netboot 5000/25 kernel? I'd love to work on this if I can
be brought up to speed.
Thanks.
