Good point.  Now that I look at it, I was actually using the mknod
in Solaris.  However, given that the device files are created for
a SunOS file system, I can't see that problem with that.  It works
for me.  NFS should handle it okay.

As someone previously mentioned, this is where bootrz and rzboot should
be in the diskimage.  They are not.  Just use the path to where you have
placed them.
