Hi,

Does anyone know how I can get PC-NFS to boot from the Sun server without
using the PC disk?  We are using 3COM 3C503 ethernet cards, and it has a
PROM socket for an EtherStart PROM.  My guess is that the PC could
download the system files, autoexec.bat, etc. from the Sun, and have the
batch file do the rest.  Has anyone done this, or know who I can ask?  For
those who can get to BITNET, please reply directly to me, and I will
summarize to the list.

Thanks,
Tony Dal Santo
