I have managed to get my Ultra1 to netboot from a FreeBSD workstation.
   So all all the steps for netboot install worked so far except i cant
   seem to find
   sysinst utility in the base distro ?
   Where is it supposed to be ?


sysinst isn't part of the base install, it is only part of the
install media... you need to look at the miniroot for that.


hmm, it seems we don't supply a tar ball of a the install media
just a bootable image.  perhaps we should also build a .tar of
the necessary bits?
