Hi,

I fixed the bootparams file:

sunburst root=192.168.1.116:/iso/5.2/sparc64 swap=192.168.1.116:/mnt

which is now fine and can boot the kernel however, in order to try to 
install the OS I exported the CD via NFS.

I mounted the iso by loopback to /iso then exported /iso via nfs along 
with /mnt for swap.


This is probably wrong as I am confused if there is an installer such as 
when the cdrom gets booted from or if I need to populate the nfs export 
with the openbsd file system structure then copy the contents across to 
the systems hard drive?


This is what I get currently:
