I found that the ISC version of DHCP works.  The SB3 has OpenBoot PROMs,
so netbooting it is no more challenge than a Sun workstation.  The SB2
has Tadpole PROMs, so the monitor is unusual (menu-driven, for a start).
It would be nice to know what the requirements of the boot-file loaded
via ethernet are.  When booting stuff other than the kernel that came
with the machine, I get asked for a load address and an entry address.
