Ok, second status report. As before, I've managed to get inital arp
and tftp in order, to download the bootstrap. I managed to disable my
router's dhcp server and activate dhcpd on my FBSD box.
Here's what the sun box outputs:
=3D=3D=3D
36e00 Consoles: Open Firmware console

FreeBSD/sparc64 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.0
(root@s-dallas.cse.buffalo.edu, Fri Jan 12 08:25:13 UTC 2007)
bootpath=3D"/pci@1f,0/network@c,1"
boot: ethernet address: 00:03:ba:08:1c:11
net_open: server addr: 192.168.1.68
net_open: server path: /usr/sunboot
panic: arp: no response for 0.0.0.0

--> Press a key on the console to reboot <--
Rebooting...
Program terminated
ok [prompt mode]
=3D=3D=3D
The part I'm curious about  is "panic: arp: no response for 0.0.0.0".
What am I missing?
Perhaps it won't work to place the contents of the boot CD in
/usr/sunboot, but that error seems to about something else.

Relevant parts if my dhcpd.conf:
=3D=3D=3D
host sune.lan {
 fixed-address sune.lan;
 hardware ethernet 00:03:ba:08:1c:11;
 option root-path "192.168.1.68:/usr/sunboot";
}

host alantis.lan {
 fixed-address 192.168.1.65;
 hardware ethernet 00:13:37:13:37:cc; # Yes, it's a custom MAC
}

host billy.lan {
 fixed-address 192.168.1.68;
 hardware ethernet 00:c0:4f:8a:68:a5;
}
=3D=3D=3D
sune.lan is assigned to 192.168.1.69 in hosts and 0:3:ba:8:1c:11 in
ethers. billy.lan is the server used for netboot. alantis.lan is just
an innocent bystander.

My exports has a single row:
/usr/sunboot         -ro -maproot=3Droot -network 192.168.1.69 -mask 255.25=
5.255.0
My rc.conf is the default configuration+what you adviced me to add.

I also double-checked showmount -e after a reboot.

Anything obvious I've missed?

It should somehow work since the CD boots. (Or should've done in the
ideal case)

Hmm, I don't have an installed FreeBSD(-sparc64) system.
