I seem to remember a discussion about booting a diskless SUN through a
CISCO router from a server on a second Ethernet-interface of that router,
but I did not read the articles at that time.

At the moment I regret that, as I have the problem that I try to do such a
thing, but I can't get it working! I am able to get the RARP and
RARP-reply packets through the CISCO by bridging these packets, but the
tftp-request to the server for the boot-file then fails.

I would be very grateful if somebody pointed me to a solution.
