Hello!

A while back I wrote a guide on how to network boot various installers and operating systems on Sun systems. A link to the guide is below. I wanted to post it here and perhaps give a place to discuss possible changes/updates that could be made Smile

Totally! When I get a chance, I need to do more testing to add more client/server configs lol

A quick update: With help from Para, I have been able to finally debug Github Actions and have it automatically generate PDF and HTML copies of the guide whenever changes are made to the repository. This has been a long-term goal of mine to allow those who wish to have an offline copy, or have it accessible on a computer that cannot parse markdown/load the Github site, to do so.

I hope to make more additions to procedures in the coming months. Stay tuned!
