And mostly because the development directory for sparc64 is currently barren[4]. Like I mentioned in my original message, the only information I can find about a netboot install is a very outdated 5.0-CURRENT text that links to bootloader files that no longer exist. If you can point me to a resource I've overlooked, please do so. I would greatly appreciate a hit with the cluestick on this one.
