I have never had any success trying to get an older Sun to work with bootp. RARP and TFTP is the only way I've had success. However, I have installed both Redhat and Debian on an SS5 with 64MB and a SS20 with 96MB this way. Just remember that the filename they use to boot from is the IP address in hex (no dots or 0x) followed by a . and the architecture, i.e. SUN4[CDM]. One of my boot files looks like D888B0FD.SUN4M. -- Sean R.
