I am going to but this work on hold, since I am going to build a DVD jumpstart 
image, but I just want to put some final notes, so I can return to it in the 
future to fix it. I also, checked and the last time it worked for me was the 
last Sun Release of the Solaris Express Release (B90) before they moved to 
OpenSolaris.

The problem.
- Net Install Without PXE/DHCP
- Use x86  SXCE /Nevada release
- Microsoft DHCP/DNS
- Boot off a USB device or DVD
- menu.lst looks like
title Solaris11 Jumstart
rarp
ifconfig --gateway=193.xx.xx.yy --mask=255.255.255.0 --server=193.xx.xx.xx
root (nd)
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_11-1/multiboot  kernel/unix  -B 
install_media=193.xx.xx.xx:/export/install
module /I86PC.Solaris_11-1/x86.miniroot
===

The above process work successfully for Solaris 10
