Is *anyone* working on user documentation for diskless installation in
the Install Manual?

Does diskless only work on sparc?  If so, why?

As I read it, sparc supports the following installation methods.

 * tftp boot, nfs installation (why is this sparc specific?)
 * tftp + nfsroot diskless installation (why is this sparc specific?)
 * floppy
 * cdrom

What about installation from a SunOS partition?  Isn't that possible?

BTW, the Sparc release notes are of quite a high quality.  I'll try to
fold that in right now.
