One way is to use Solaris jumpstart.
Take a look at the following documentation:

Hello mates,
I've a SUN Netra (Sparc) at home, I cannot afford to buy a SUN branded dvd
rom and I wonder how can I install the Solaris 10 OS without one.

I've my desktop machine with Linux and my idea is to enable a tftp, a dhcp
server and NFS share my linux worstation's dvdrw with the latest Solaris 
10
SPARC dvd inside and install the OS from there by making the SPARC box to
boot from the net. Or loopback mount the Solaris 10 ISO on a directory and
share that directory.

Do you think that it would be possible?

Ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks
Andres-
