Both problems are solved.

FIRST: booting a Sun Fire V20z box from network.

There are two ways. By using the operating system,

# /usr/sfw/bin/ipmitool chassis bootdev pxe
Set Boot Device to pxe
# ls /usr/sfw/bin/ipmitool chassis power cycle
Chassis Power Control: Cycle

And, by using the Service Processor,

localhost $ platform set power state off -f
localhost $ platform get power state
localhost $ platform set os state boot -d network

SECOND: Grub Menu

use the "install" option in the menu.lst file like here

default=0
timeout=30
title Solaris_10 Jumpstart
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_10-2/multiboot kernel/unix -v -m verbose install -B 
output-device=ttya,input-device=ttya,install_config=192.168.
4.4:/export/ins 
tall/jumpstart,sysid_config=192.168.4.4:/export/install/jumpstart,install_media=
 192.168.4.4:/export/install/x86_10,install_boot
=192.168.4.4:/export/install/ x86_10/boot
module /I86PC.Solaris_10-2/x86.miniroot

That's all. I appreciate all the help I received, specially from Iain 
MacDonnell and Casper Dik from Sun Microsystems.

Five weeks working on this project and, finally, the entire JumpStart 
installation process is done automatically. Now, we can proceed to intall a 
fresh version of the OS into +300 nodes in our cluster!
