[SunRescue] Installing SunOS 4.x on a Sun 3 box

[ed_mitchell at adc.com]

The idea was to use diskless clients, which is why I thought Jumpstart was
ruled out.  Your example mentioned the client disks, which in this case
there wouldn't necessarily be. :)

Jumpstart is perfect for what you want to do, check the documentation
(Advanced Installation guide).  The normal case of a Jumpstart install
does exactly what you want, the setup scripts copy the CDROM files to a
local area on your boot server and the client systems load their OS onto
their disks however you like.
