Get the Xkernel package off of sunsite /pub/Linux/system/netboot or
something like that. Intructions within it are pretty good. You'll need
to install the mountd/nfsd that comes with the package.. as far as i can
tell they work fine for linux-linux mounts as well.
Unfortunately though, rpc.bootparamd wont' compile out of that package
for some reason.. i have some binaries (a.out and ELF) at
ltost04:/pub/Linux/sunboot or ltost01:/pub.OLD/Linux/sunboot.. same
files, i'm just in the process of migrating.. Xkernel is also there if
you wanna deal with a 28.8K link...
