Where we might go with Suns

We have several problems with the Sun installation that we should try to remediate.

  1. We should get familiar with the CNBoot program to be able to maintain it and port it from release to release. Idem on nfs_dlboot.
  2. We should investigate the contradictory requirements of speed/simplicity (1.1.1, 1.1.2) versus flexibility (1.2.7). If necessary we should change the installation for a more flexible one.
  3. We should consider the question of using one server for several Sun types.
  4. We should make the installation more robust by adding to phase3.sh a report of failure mechanism.
