The simple version is that you need to modify your DHCP to send your
solaris clients the 'pxegrub' program from the solaris distribution
instead of pxelinux, and then configure it to load a menu.lst file that
will network boot solaris..
If you'd rather have the DHCP server setup to have all clients boot the
same pxe executable, the pxegrub program from solaris can easily boot
linux too, that's what I do. (You might be able to configure pxelinux to
boot solaris too, but I've never tried.)
I've never done this on the linux DHCP server, but it shouldn't be that
different. If this doesn't get you started, let me know, and I can
probably give more details.
