There are two ways you can do this. The simplest one is to use the boot spec to explicitly name a host (e.g., b le(,80088) ) from which to boot, and have some hosts serve up Vload and others the Sun bootstrap. The other way is to build a version of Vload with a Sun a.out header (there are examples in the Vload buildfile, I believe -- look for *.boot) and load it with the Sun "boot" program (name it V). Both of these have been done here. joe
