FAI Guide (Fully Automatic Installation)
Chapter 8 FAI on SUN SPARC

Even FAI is architecture independent, there are some packages, that are only available for certain architectures (eg. silo, sparc-utils). SUN SPARC computer can boot from their boot prompt and don't need a boot floppy. To boot a SUN use:

     boot net

You have to convert the kernel image from ELF format to a.out format. Therefore use the program elftoaout (mentioned in the FAQ). The symlink to the kernel image to be booted is not the host name. Look at the FAQ at http://www.ultralinux.org for more information. A success report is available at http://www.opossum.ch/fai/.
