Booting on Sparc

Booting on Sparc

[JUSTdan]

What procedure do I use to get the operating system booted on a sparcstation
from the cdrom? I can not find any reference to this in the documentation,
and am not familiar enough with the sparc monitor to get this to work
successfully.

Thanks much for the assistance,

Dan
