Hello everybody,

I'm trying to install a jumpstart server (solaris 8 or 9 on a sparc) to host
Debian/RedHat/SuSE images (maybe also windowze) for sparc and x86 clients.
I've been reading the documentation from Sun, but I couldn't see any info on
setting up such a system (everything seems to be from sparc to sparc or from
PXE to PXE).
Anybody has tried this before? Is it possible for a PXE client to see a
Jumpstart server? (it seems to just be a matter of getting DHCP and TFTP,
but I'm not sure a PXE client would understand the solaris scripts...).

Any help or commments would be appreciated.

Regards,

Genis.
