Document network-boot-arguments for sparc64 diskless(8)
The Oracle OpenBoot 4.x Administration Guide[0] documents a few useful
options for network boot.
Basically, either
{ok} setenv network-boot-arguments tftp-retries=0
{ok} boot net ...
or
{ok} boot net:tftp-retries=0 ...
Newer machines like the T4-2 using OpenBoot 4.38.16 also support BOOTP/DHCP
besides RARP: "dhcp,hostname=puffy" works as expected on my
T4-2, but "boot-filename" and "boot-retries" remain unsupported on this
particular machine despite being documented in the guide.
