SunOS4's NIT (not BPF) version of rbootd (sun-rbootd) is in my web page
  http://www.tt.rim.or.jp/~yamamori/sun/sun-rbootd.tar.gz

Solaris2's DLPI is somewhat similar to SunOS4's NIT.
So, porting rbootd to Solaris2 may be easy. (?)

This is updated version from I previously posted in this ML.
(no need additional files)

And ..
  I made some changes on this sun-rbootd as follows:
    * not use /etc/rbootd.conf but use /etc/ethers (or NIS ethers map)
    * put SYS_UBOOT on /tftpboot instead of /usr/mdec/rbootd,
      and symlink to C0A8XXXX if client IP is 192.168.xx.xx.
      (like Sun's rarp/tftp)

--
I can boot HP300/345 from net by sun-rbootd on SunOS4's NIT.
