I've found that the Debian people generally do a great job with their
documentation, there's a nice file called install.txt in their boot disks
directory which illustrates many different ways of installing, including
the net boot... while it does pertain to Debian Linux, it gives examples
on how to set it up under SunOS, I think perhaps BSD or Solaris.

I can send you the text file if you want.

It's really easy once you've done it... setting it up is fun and a good
learning experience.
