I just finished installing NV 33 onto an old Ultra 5 without a cdrom. The only
real snag was getting the DHCP server to feed it the correct information,
because the DHCP server is on a Linux box. I have a Netra T1 acting as the
install server and as the boot server. But I didn't want to try running to DHCP
servers on the same subnet.
Here's what I ended up with in the dhcpd.conf file on my Linux box. Heimdall is
the name of the install and boot server, at 10.10.1.131.
option space SUNW;
option SUNW.SrootOpt code 1 = text;
option SUNW.SrootIP4 code 2 = ip-address;
option SUNW.SrootNM code 3 = text;
option SUNW.SrootPTH code 4 = text;
option SUNW.SswapIP4 code 5 = ip-address;
option SUNW.SswapPTH code 6 = text;
option SUNW.SbootFIL code 7 = text;
option SUNW.Stz code 8 = text;
option SUNW.SbootRS code 9 = integer 16;
option SUNW.SinstIP4 code 10 = ip-address;
option SUNW.SinstNM code 11 = text;
option SUNW.SinstPTH code 12 = text;
option SUNW.SsysidCF code 13 = text;
option SUNW.SjumpsCF code 14 = text;
option SUNW.Sterm code 15 = text;
option SUNW.SbootURI code 16 = text;
option SUNW.SHHTPProxy code 17 = text;

option SUNW.SinstIP4 10.10.1.131;
option SUNW.SinstNM = "heimdall";
option SUNW.SinstPTH = "/export/solaris11/install";
option SUNW.SrootIP4 10.10.1.131;
option SUNW.SrootNM = "heimdall";
option SUNW.SrootPTH =
"/export/solaris11/install/Solaris_11/Tools/Boot" ;
}
host chimera {

fixed-address 10.10.1.132;
}

All the information is around the 'net, but it took me some time to get it all
together. Hopefully this will be of use to someone else.
