I haven't gotten sol9 yet, and it doesn't seem to be available for 
download any more, which is why I'm left trying to break into the system 
that's on it at the moment.

The netboot stuff works fine, it's just the specifics I'm getting stuck
on. I need something that will boot the sparc via netboot and give me
write access to /etc/passwd so I can clear root's password and reboot.
Simple, or so you'd think!!
