Hi, everyone:
        Sorry for the late summary but I did have some problems on this one.

Originally, I wanted the Sun3/60 to boot from the Dec box (a DecSystem 5600,
running as the YP server and DNS server). But very time the Sun3/60 boots
to run the init and the init died. (I am still working on that.) So now,
the Sun3/60 get the RARP answer from the Dec box, but the bootparam
server is the sparc1. And the Sun3/60 gets it X11 fonts from the Dec
box. I think I should be able to get it going totally from the Dec box.
(Darrell Hodge <hodged@tsc.cxo.dec.com> got it working.) For the rest I just
followed the Xkernel instructions.

I got about 10 replies,(among them 2 asking info or summary) and
they are all helpful one way or the other. Thanks for the following
people, especially Darrell Hodge from Digital and Seth Robertson from
Columbia University for their very detailed infomation.
