Well, there is one way, but it's not using HP-UX.  MtXinu has a BSD 4.3
product that has NFS 4.0 and runs on the 300.  My understanding is that
it can act as a diskless server or client with Sun Systems.  You would
be giving up actual HP-UX and the support that HP provides.  You can get
more info from Mt Xinu in Berkeley, CA.
