Hi,

Duh, Rev R was the version that was already known. I misread that part.

Anyway I can confirm that you can set up a NetBSD box with ndbootd from Matt
Fredette and the Sun2 will boot from it using network disk (ND) for fetching
the kernel and then NFS as usual, see

This is my Sun 2/50, apparantly it has the Rev Q ROM. It is somewhere hard to
reach, when I get the time Ibll read those ROMs as well and add them to the
tar file.

Cheers,
Walter.
