The NetBSD/sparc install notes have a section on "Installing
NetBSD by using a diskless setup"
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.3/sparc/INSTALL
Also, the diskless manpage is useful:
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/share/man/man8/diskless.8
(If you want a formatted copy of the latter just let me know)
If you have any problems, you should ask on port-sparc@netbsd.org
In fact, its probably worth subscribing to that list anyway - its
relatively low volume and can be quite interesting...
