I haven't done a snoop yet, but I did "boot net -v" and I can
SEE the steps it is going through.  It mounts the NFS mount
fine, it starts loading the initial kernel (not the bootloader,
but the real kernel) and I assume starts to run it and then
gives the "Divide by Zero" and drops to the "ok" prompt.

Don't know how I'd get solaris to install from NFS rather
than the CD at that point...
