Default Is the latest Gigaswift card net bootable?

Hi all,

Just a quick question: does the latest Gigaswift card (the X4150A-2) support
net booting (on SPARC at least)?

TIA,

As far as I'm aware ALL Sun network cards (for SPARC) on current machines
support netboot.

The X4150A-2 is just a RoHS version of the X4150A, so if one works, the
other should - and X4150A certainly supports booting from the network.

Scott.

Excellent. (That's what I thought, but thought I'd check before spending
my hard-earned shekels.)
