For the time being, only OpenSolaris is supported as platform where install server for OpenSolaris can be created/configured. Separate DHCP server can be used. As far as PXE boot is concerned, it is utilized only for x86 platform, Sparc takes advantage of 'wanboot'. In your particular case, one potential solution might be to take advantage of virtualization - I assume (I haven't tried yet) that you could create AI server (utilized by both x86 as well as Sparc clients) as virtual machine (e.g. as a guest in Virtual Box) using your Linux system as a host operating system. As far as setting up AI server is concerned, you can take a look at following link: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/dev/AIinstall/setup.html Please be aware that documentation is currently in update process for June release.
