Is it easy to netboot sun fire V210 using only sparc64 iso image and intel host?

Also, I remember when I've been netbooting a Sun last time (which has
been years ago, so things might have changed), they required the
server to respond to an "ICMP mask request", which is not enabled by
default in FreeBSD.  Set

sysctl net.inet.icmp.maskrepl=1

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
