Ask Slashdot:Booting Solaris From Linux

Here's a challange for everyone out there: Rob Williams has a a Sparc Station without a CD ROM drive, and asks "How do I remote boot and install SunOS 4.1.4 on an OSless Sparc from a machine running Linux? The RARP and bootparm stuff sounds doable, but how do you layout the tftp directory and exports to allow a full install of SunOS on the Sun disk? Is the SunOS disk even fully readable by Linux? Are there other considerations for serving diskless client SunOS machines from a linux box?" (Note:If you have a question for Slashdot, send them to Cliff Wood. Don't be shy!)
