So it's still true that the only way to install NetBSD on an UltraSparc
is to either have Solaris installed, tftp boot, and floppies? Other than
that there is no way to install it?

the miniroot CD hasn't been updated yet?

So if you don't have solaris you can't setup the tftp boot parameters?
or can that be done without solaris? Would it be (from the ok prompt)
boot tftp and provided you had a tftp server running on say a freebsd
box you would just have to make the correct symlinks and it should work?

That's (about) what I've been trying to do, and not having much luck.  I
have an Ultra10 opb 3.25 and looking to install NetBSD 1.5.  Was 1.4.2
any better? or is 1.5 the 'first' release of sparc64 that 'works'?

Any help would be appreciated.
