Good netboot guide or alternative for loading SS20



Hi,

I've got an SS20 here in my basement that's been idle for the better
part of a year and a half. Before it goes to the land of happy Sparc's
like my SS2 I'd like to get a recent copy of NetBSD on it. I've also
got a couple of CPU's and a few 9G Seagate Baracudas taking up space
here...

The problem is that I don't have a working SCSI CD-ROM drive so it
looks like I have to netboot to get this going. Is this just a matter
of copying the boot CD to a file area on an NFS server? Has anyone got
a good link for setting up a netboot server for NetBSD? In this case
the server would be a FreeBSD box.

Thanks in advance
