SunOS 4/Solaris 1 or SunOS 5/Solaris 2?

With Solaris 2.x it's very easy, look under the Advanced Installation 
guide on docs.sun.com.  In the Tools subdirectory of the OS CD there is a 
program to setup the install server (called, oddly enough, 
setup_install_server) and a program to add a client netboot entry 
(add_install_client).

For SunOS 4 it's a bit more involved but covered well in the manuals.
