Greetings SUN Community!

I feel that one of the nicer things SUN has done with 4.0 is the inclusion
of boot service in NFS as opposed to nd. However, when I talk to non-Sun
vendors about their diskless workstations which run NFS they all have the
same reply: Gee, we're sorry but Sun has yet to distribute the NFS boot
code to us folks with NFS Licenses.

Is this true? If so, when will Sun distribute the code ??

Just wondering......

[[ Isn't that the code that Bill Joy called "too crufty to distribute" at
December's SUG?  Or was that some other boot code?  --wnl ]]
