I'm planning to remove all disks from the clients to use them for
/home on the server (buying new disks is not an option at the moment,
given that the budget of our department doesn't even cover costs for
periodicals in the library). It would thus be nice to compile kernels
for the clients on the server.

That bit was new to me. So to make a network bootable image on sparc
one doesn't use mknbi-linux? How is the functionality of mknbi-linux
achieved here (i.e. -d rom -i rom and initrd (not that I need the last
one, just curious))?
