We've got a couple NeXTs that we're interested in booting over thin
ethernet off of an HP-UX machine, version 7.0.  apparently HP-UX
uses a bootp server to handle things on its end.

My question:  Is this possible?  What, in general terms, is required?
What is a good source for learning the ins and outs of doing it?

Thanks,
Don McGregor
