I don't have a netboot setup there but that would take only about 15-20
mins to setup. That's not the worry though. The worry like I explained
is that these Sparc machines have so far been a pain to cheerfully let
me install Debian on them. In each case I've had to do somersaults and
cartwheels of sorts mostly involving physically disconnecting hardware
components, HBAs, CD-ROM drives etc for them to get through the Installs
and subsequent reboots. So even if I setup a net boot setup there from
here, how would I get past these hiccups if it freezes mid-way and needs
some hardware to be disconnected etc? But i do have another machine here
OR I could just create a VM and then try to see what happens if I
re-create the disk label and then manually build the parition table. Was
rather hoping someone can give me the steps / faq/ how-to / gotchas etc
before I attempt that and try to pioneer it so I can save some time and
anguish :)
