I need to remove the harddisk on a DECstation 5000/200 and set it up to 
remote boot and operate from a SPARC II. 

As the customer has misplaced virtually all documentation - and particularly
the system administration stuff - I would appreciate any pointers as to
the necessary setup and pitfalls.

I know that the DECstation can be setup to remote boot via the REX command:

	3/mop		(don't remember the exact syntax)

I am am familiar with the typical setup using tftp to boot a diskless
workstation.

The SPARC and DEC currently have access to each others file system through NFS.

Thanx for any help
