With the setup noted in the previous message I give the openboot command
ok boot net ip.of.the.server
and I get errors indicating a timeout condition waiting for an RARP/ARP
packet. So
obviously, as you said Ben, this is not set up right, and I am probably
not issuing the
command correctly.
Also, the SPARC's don't seem to be talking ethernet. I don't get e link
light when I
enter the above command. Is that normal for these things?

isn't a complete waste). It sounds like you have your rarpd setup wrong,
so let's try to get that working. What do you have in /etc/ethers?--
