I found the only way I could get SuSE Linux 8.0 (x86) to act as a
"server" for netbooting a Sparc Station 1+ was to do the following:

Make sure (ISC) dhcpd was running
Turn off in.tftpd
run rarpd
run arp:  arp -H ether -i eth0 -s sparc 8:0:20:a:1:f
boot up SS1+ with auto-boot turned off
type in "boot net" at the SS1+ console
run arp to see what is cached and wait until I got the following:
	sparc     (incomplete)     eth0
then run arp again: arp -H ether -i eth0 -s sparc 8:0:20:a:1:f
then run in.tftpd
then it would boot.


Any ideas why ?
