>Description:
The sparc installation documentation tells you to use tftpd to transfer a kernel to
a sparc booting over ethernet (at "configuring your netboot server"). The command
given for symlinking the boot.net to appropriate ipaddr-arch-combination is:
# ln -s /tftpboot/boot.net /tftpboot/C0A8010A.SUN4C

Now, the problem is, tftpd runs chrooted from inetd, so the tftpd won't be able to find
the boot block (/tftpboot does not exist inside chroot jail). 

>How-To-Repeat:
Just follow the instruction on INSTALL.html for configuring a netboot server.
>Fix:
The command should read:

# cd /tftpboot
# ln -s ./boot.net C0A8010A.SUN4C

This ensures the symlink is inside the chrooted environment.
