The question posed was has sun relased the code needed to do this to other
vendors. I know of the following vendor who is currently providing this
service, to indicate that it is avalilable. 

In their v 7.0 release of their unix Convex has distributed all the
support needed, and while I have not actually tried it everything that is
needed appears to be their, bootparmd etc. I understand there were two
releases from sun, 1 to boot and one with the v 4.0 nfs features
otherwise.  I guess one of the problems is the release and timeing
schedule for the other vendors with respect to suns schedule.
