[caiman-discuss] AI - problem mount root

[Paul Southerby]

Folks,

I work for Sun Microsystems in MPK12.   I have an Ultra45 in my
office.  I just upgraded the firmware.   How difficult would it be for
me to use wanboot to install OpenSolaris from my office?   Which
Opensolaris install server would I use?  How would I set up the wanboot
on my Ultra45?   Any suggestions?  It would be great to run the latest
Opensolaris on my office system.  I might find some really interesting
bugs.
