Hi all, i recently became an owner of a Sun 3 with no hard drive.
Currently i'm using it as an xterminal via Xkernel for linux.  I'm
willing to buy a new hard drive if i can install netbsd on it.

Is it possible to create a bootable image on the drive w/o having the
means to parition/format the drive first?? I think i read somewhere that
i can boot diskless from nfs and install that way?  Please let me know
asap as the computer show is this weekend and i'm gonna be shopping for a
drive.

Thanks
Lance
