we want to be able to boot our sun clients over the net with either
unix or V (to be determined by a miraculous incantation at boot time)

got any hints for the student who needs to do this by the end of the month?

thanks...

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.
