>Description:
I used to boot several Sun3 computers as Xkernel X terminals from FreeBSD.
This capability stopped somewhere around FBSD 2.1.7. With an identical 
/etc/bootparams file NetBSD 1.3 boots these Suns just fine. This behavior 
seems to be universal to several other FreeBSD/Sun3 X users. (personal e-mail)
I will be happy to help in tracking down this problem as I have both FreeBSD and NetBSD
running at this site.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot Sun 3.
It receives only partial info required if bootparamd server is FreeBSD.
It receives all required info if rpc.bootparmad server is NetBSD or SunOS.
>Fix:
Unknown.
However, I have a working NetBSD server and several non working FreeBSD
bootparamd servers with source.
