At work I setup a Sparc20 to act as a boot server for all the other sparc
machines that needed upgrading to Solaris 9. Too bad the Sparc10s and 5s don't
have the hard drive space for it (takes 2GB and most of them have 1.2GB or
smaller drives).
Back to reading the JumpStart docs :)
> I have a SparcStation IPC that until Wednesday used to be my DNS server.

> It has OpenBSD 2.8 pre-installed and it used to run Debian Linux

> It is setup for DHCP but I will give it an IP address if requested.
> The root password has been reset and will be given to the new owner.

> It has no monitor,keyboard or mouse, I access it via serial-null modem

> You will need to buy an AUI Transceiver to hook it to Ethernet Hub or Switch.
