Videos about computer stuff. Typically focused on enterprise and networking "netro" gear from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s.

Video Description

Unboxing a (probably new) Sun Fire V100 and attempting to get Solaris 8 installed on it via a JumpStart server. The JumpStart server is running on a Solaris 10 x86 VM in my homelab's Proxmox instance. I'd like to eventually get this Sun Fire V100 set up as a dedicated physical JumpStart server.
