"Retrocomputing enthusiasts can now boot Sun Sparc servers using Raspberry Pi's rarpd package. By configuring the Pi to recognize the Sun's MAC address and IP, users can auto-configure the Sun's IP. This process involves setting up associations in /etc/ethers and /etc/hosts files. Additionally, users can run rarpd with the -e parameter to bypass bootable image checks. This DIY approach allows for cost-effective preservation of vintage hardware and software."
