Hi there my trusty IPC scsi hdd failed last week so I decided to 
netboot it from my desktop..

no problem you say, but I am limited to wintel boxes only in the 
network - i have managed to get rarpd and tftpd/bootp and even an 
nfs server for windoze but its all for nought if i cant get a 
bootparamd server! 

Anyone know of anyway around this..the netbsd diskless howto is 
of no use.

I would be grateful for any help on this one :) since I would finally 
love to run my sparc without a very screechy and extremely 
annoying scsi disk..alternatively (though not ideally) anyone know 
anyway to spin down a disk when its not being accessed?
