I agree with both of you and luckily I am talking about intel-based sun fire x4150 (running intel xeon processors), but less lucky I don't even know where to start with this.. Guessing I need a repository of the solaris 10 files and then a kickstart-file needs to be created, however before I started digging in it I just wanted to know if you knew of any reason it would not work?

Look at "action_sync.py" for starters, and follow that out to "pxegen.py". We'll also probably want to add a "--breed=solaris_x86_64" and a "--breed=sparc" to "item_distro.py". I agree with Brandon that it's probably easier to do x86_64 first though I'll take patches for either. That would get basic PXE fairly quickly, if we want to make koan work over there, that might be a bit more work... though maybe we don't need that initially.
