Once `rbootd' is configured and running, you will be ready to continue.
-Make sure that the ramdisk kernel image (`bsd.rd') resides in a filesystem

+Next, add the client to /etc/ethers on your server. For example:

+ 08:00:09:04:AA:33 thunder-egg

+Then start `rarpd' on your server; `rarpd -a' should do the trick.

+Finally, you need to add an entry in /etc/bootparams. For example:

+ thunder-egg root=myserver:/export/hp300

+Where myserver is the name of your server machine and `/export/hp300'
+is the directory that holds the ramdisk kernel image (`bsd.rd').

You are now ready to load SYS_UBOOT. During the client's self-test cycle,
