Thanks to Dave Dunaway <bela@nivek.org>
(total forgot about this...) anyway

get device address from 2nd network card
        i used 'dmsg' and got teh following info
        hme1 is /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,hme@3,1

as root; init 0 <--: bring system down
at the OK prompt:

ok nvalias net2 /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,hme@3,1
ok setenv use-nvramrc? true
ok devalias net2
net2 /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,hme@3,1

so i can now do a : boot net2 - install

> I just was wondering if this is possible and if so how.
> the system has 2 network-cards, if i do a: boot net - install
> it will work just fine (jumpstarting the system) and it will use the 'main'
> network card, the one build-in on the system board.
>
> But i would like to be able to boot-net it from the second network card
> from some particular reason.. would that be possible? and how do this?
