A colleague of mine wants to use a 386i with a big SCSI disk as a file server for a few diskless 3/50s. Sun tells him this can't be done, but no one he has spoken to has given him a cogent reason. I thought under SunOS 4.x that diskless machines use NFS to boot, and surely the 386i supports full NFS. So, is this a fake problem, a bug likely to be fixed some time, or some fundamental limit on performance in mixed-architecture systems?
