There are two ways you can do this.  The simplest one is to use the boot
spec to explicitly name a host (e.g., b le(,80088) ) from which to boot,
and have some hosts serve up Vload and others the Sun bootstrap.  The
other way is to build a version of Vload with a Sun a.out header (there
are examples in the Vload buildfile, I believe -- look for *.boot) and
load it with the Sun "boot" program (name it V).  Both of these have been
done here.
