- I need to remove the harddisk on a DECstation 5000/200 and set it up to
- remote boot and operate from a SPARC II.
-
- As the customer has misplaced virtually all documentation - and particularly
- the system administration stuff - I would appreciate any pointers as to
- the necessary setup and pitfalls.
-
- I know that the DECstation can be setup to remote boot via the REX command:
-
- 3/mop (don't remember the exact syntax)
-
- I am am familiar with the typical setup using tftp to boot a diskless
- workstation.
-
- The SPARC and DEC currently have access to each others file system through NFS.
-
- Thanx for any help
