	I've done it the other way around :-)
	I set up things so that my Sun 3/80 boots diskless from my BSD box
	as an X terminal (using the Xkernel-2.0 package).  It works, er,
	worked fine until not long ago -- I'll get to that later :-)

	I could try and write up something for this configuration
	(using FreeBSD as a Xterminal server).

	Anyway, since I rebuilt to current (last time was mid-December), my
	setup doesn't work anymore -- the 3/80 boots until it gets all its
	devices probed, then hangs right after bwtwo0: resolution 1152 x
	900.

	Tcpdump tells me this:

01:08:06.428181 arp who-has machine.frmug.fr.net tell machine.frmug.fr.net
01:08:06.432657 machine.frmug.fr.net.1023 > 193.56.58.0.sunrpc: udp 100     
01:08:09.422835 machine.frmug.fr.net.1023 > 193.56.58.0.sunrpc: udp 100
01:08:15.422854 machine.frmug.fr.net.1023 > 193.56.58.0.sunrpc: udp 100
01:08:27.422984 machine.frmug.fr.net.1023 > 193.56.58.0.sunrpc: udp 100

	on and on...

	The new bootparamd doesn't seem to work any better :-(

	What is strange is it DOES get as far as booting the kernel.
