Diskless workstations and non-sun servers

[John Kennedy]

Can a Sun diskless workstation use a non-sun file server?  That is, if I
have SunOs available on an NFS-compatible machine from another vendor, are
the initial boot requests pure NFS or does the diskless workstation get
its executables in a proprietary manner?  Any experiences, insights,
[mild] flames, etc. are welcome.
