We want to boot HP diskless workstations from a Sunserver. The local sun dealer over here says it's not possible. According to them the HP's should boot from their own disk but may use the Sunserver after that through NFS. Is this correct? Does it make any difference whether I use HP-UX or 4.3BSD?

The literature that I got from Mt Xinu about their MORE/bsd 4.3 port to the HP (from Utah) says that they support "Diskless NFS, for running diskless HP, Sun and VAX nodes". Sounds like it does what you want. The HP-UX diskless node support uses an HP proprietary protocol to access root and swap areas on the server, and requires an HP-UX server. @alex
