I've successfully gotten this far in the past; the Solaris boot loader
was tftp'd and running on my little Sparc Classic.

This step, however, would fail. Now, it may be version-specific, but
the Solaris version that I had (7 or 8, I'm not sure) could not deal
with out-of-order NFS packets, which the Linux server was sending (and
presumably a Solaris NFS server would not). Tcpdump easily confirmed
the scenario.
Of course, my Sparc Classic runs Debian so well, I never really looked
back.
