we want to be able to boot our sun clients over the net with either unix or V (to be determined by a miraculous incantation at boot time) got any hints for the student who needs to do this by the end of the month? thanks... charlie shub cdash@boulder.Colorado.EDU -or- ..!{ncar|nbires}!boulder!cdash or even cdash@colospgs (BITNET)

There are two ways you can do this. The simplest one is to use the boot spec to explicitly name a host (e.g., b le(,80088) ) from which to boot, and have some hosts serve up Vload and others the Sun bootstrap. The other way is to build a version of Vload with a Sun a.out header (there are examples in the Vload buildfile, I believe -- look for *.boot) and load it with the Sun "boot" program (name it V). Both of these have been done here. joe
