1. Booting suns diskless across routers (again)

New approach:

Is there any chance sun could release inetboot programs that DON'T use
bootparams?

Just about any non-RPC protocol would be dandy, because it'd be
relatively easy to forward across routers.  (That, or possibly if the
existing bootparam requests could be made with a TTL greater than one?)
I don't care how it's implemented of course, I just want something
that'll work.

And of course, if the "boot net:ipaddress" thing could be extended to do
the whole spiel (on new boxes, or even old ones with a forth patch),
that'd be FANTASTIC.  Having it there for tftp is great, but that's
actually one of the easy protocols to forward across subnets.

You might be surprised just how much something like this could help us.

I looked (briefly) into hacking the OpenBSD boot program, but among
other things, it looks Likely that I'd run into some platform-specific
lack o' info that'd prevent my attempt from being effective.  Their code
only supports pretty old suns, and I'd like to avoid surprises on
client's time.
