Bleah.  If you have to boot a sun3 off of Linux, just use the (presumably)
stable and more recent versions of nfsd that came with the distribution.

Porting everything else you need (bootparamd) from NetBSD-current is
trivial, just port rpcgen as well.  Might want a decent ftpd, too.

Of course, I just love how a sun3 will literally crawl through it's boot
sequence when being served by Linux, but will fly when served by a
(slower) SPARC running _Solaris_.
