- I don't think you can have a NeXT "netboot" from a SUN. In fact, if the
- NeXT has at least a 105 meg HD you won't have to. You can place all of the
- auxillary files (Developer release stuff) on the Sun. Where I work we have
- six (soon to be ten) NeXT's being served by a Sun IPC. Totally transparent.
- I think you just use the regular Sun NFS stuff. I'm not the sysadmin,
- so I don't know the details.
-
- The user home directories are located on the Sun.
-
- Hope this helps.
