This is regarding my previous message about trying to boot a Next off
a Sun 3/160 running Sun OS 4.0.3. The problem seems to have been with
the way I tarred the Next filesystem to the Sun. I recopied the Next 
filesystem using tar with the pB flags set. The Next boots and runs
like the happy camper it is. 

FYI: Since Sun does not provide bootp I ftp'd a pd version from
uunet.uu.net. It works just fine. Sun does provide bootparam service
and it works just fine.
