[rescue] Sun4U - Solaris ISO, boot device options

[Dan Moisa]

To this day I haven't been able to install Solaris successfully off a
Linux server. *BSD yes, but Solaris always gets something wrong. I ended up
even trying Solaris out of a qemu because of this, and still the most
reliable thing is a SCSI2SD emulating cdrom.

Can anyone that successfully do Solaris netinstall with a Linux host send
their nfs config, export, directory listing so I can see what I'm getting
wrong?

Dan.
