Trying the kernel config line of:

	config vmunix root on type nfs swap on sd0c

works perfect for any diskless 4.0.3 client with a local scsi. or:

	config vmunix root on nd swap on sd0c

works fine for any diskless 3.X client with a local scsi.

just be sure that sd0 has a valid drive lable and you are in business.
you should note that the internal scsi drive on a sparc is acutally slower
then an nfs file system providing network performance is acceptable....
