If you really want to MOP boot from a Sun I guess it is possible, what 
OS's are the Suns running? If any are using SparcLinux then you are in 
luck... It'll compile pretty much out of the box.. I do have a patch for 
it somewhere.. If you are running SunOS I should be able to get you a 
SunOS version, I havn't bothered as yet because I don't have one myself, 
but if you are willing to test it I do have a interface for the Packet 
Filter for the Sun so I'll have a go.
