-This page contains a few links that were helpful when trying to boot [[mantis_broken]].
-Particularly helpful:
-http://wirespeed.xs4all.nl/mediawiki/index.php/Netboot_Solaris_from_Linux#tftpd
-Squeeze kept hanging when booting, but managed to boot successfully using the wheezy netboot image.
-Outline notes:
-  *  Need TFTP and RARP server to boot from.
-  *  Map the sunfire box's MAC address to an IP using /etc/ethers
-  *  The sunfire box will look for a file with it's IP as a hex value in TFTP root, so symlink it to a boot image.
-  *  Start up the sunfire box, and wait for <code>ok:</code> prompt. Type <code>halt</code> before disk boot begins.
-  *  Type <code>boot net</code>. The box will reset then attempt to contact the boot server. If all is fine, a bunch of hex will appear in the console, and update as it receives the image.
