Re: Ultralinux tftp boot on an SS2?

[Randy McCaskill <rmccask@comm-data.com>]

Here is the tftpboot file I used with a sparc 2.  Try it and see if it
works for you.

I think that the install script is built into the tftpboot file as a
ramdisk so the one from RH4.2 will probably choke.  It is possible that
the one I have above might not be completely thrilled with any changes
that have been made since I grabbed it, but I suspect that it will work.
