[geeks] Help needed with Sun V65x

PXE booting with JumpStart is not horrible, just whack-a-mole with minutia after lacuna after minutia.

But once it is set up, it will work.

Frankly, a 32bit power-sucking dual Xeon setup probably will not please you... you might be able to find someone who needs it due to running a particular non-virtualized Solaris v7 or v8 setup.  

Checking eBay, it doesn't look like much of a seller, I can't find a sold listing for anything other than a drive tray.

Not sure where to tell you to try to unload it...

Cheers

Patrick

I'm familiar with PXE on Windows OS installs, but I suspect it is quite
different from whatever SPARC boxes did to boot off Solaris jumpstart
servers...

Time to take a break from this, till tomorrow...
