Hello All,
	Well I hunted high and low, Deja, docs.sun.com and altavista have all
failed me.  Well actually I'd say I've :(

Isure the info is out there.  I've just been loaned a SPARC classic Xterm.
I have lots of stuuf that should, in theory amek X work on them :)

The first hurdel is I can't actuall make it boot :(

IF I plug it into the LAN it sit forever and a day trying to find out who it
is :)
If I don'rt plug it in it sit forever and a day saying ... Your network is
bung .... WHo am I ???

So basically AFAICT I have 2 options
1) Get into the PROM  and try to tell it who it is and where its kernel is
2) install a rarpd on my Linux box :)

So in short can anyone out there point me at either of my 2 options ???

Yours Tony.
