Hey Joy The machine is currently connected to my home LAN. I powered it up from a remote location today via SSH -> Telnet (RSC) and executed some commands on the Solaris installation... I think that's pretty cool :P . My home network has DHCP server on it (Smoothwall) and two other machines running Ubuntu. One of the Ubuntu machines has been configured as a TFTP server (used it to hack a Mikrotik router a while back). In other words, I should(?) have the environment to boot this Sun machine via the network. As for the kernel, I found a guide today that should put me on the right track : http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CustomKernel . I'll work on it a little later today :) .
