I have two Sun 3/50's.  I also have a disk with SunOS from which I can
boot it, but no tape drive.  I will have an additional SCSI drive within
the next few days to install on (if that will be easier).

We (a friend and I) have been trying to install one of the Suns from the
network.  I boot with "b le()".  It successfully RARP's it's IP address
and loads the 'netboot' program (with the proper size).  It then attempts
to RARP it's IP address again.  However, I snoop all packets on the
network, but there is no activity on the network from that machine once
the 'netboot' program has been loaded.

What do I need to do to finish the install process?
