IIRC there's a shell script and/or READMEs with the netboot stuff on the
Slackware site. Ah, yup:

http://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/slackware/sparc/slackware-current/BOOTING.TXT
http://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/slackware/sparc/slackware-current/tftpboot/

And/or you may have been thinking of my ramble to the list of what I had
