Alex, Jan and Jack: I had three Sun Blade 100 with 512 MB that I use for AI testing. I will try both net boot and boot from media.
For DDU, I had tested a preliminary x86 image for Jack. I can no longer boot AI on x86 with 512 MB of memory with net boot. The compress solaris.zlib had increased from 90 MB to 170 MB. I am going to check out media boot next.
