I don't recall how I did it, but here's my menu.lst entries for a PXE
boot of OpenSolaris -
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_11-2/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix -B
console=ttya,install_media=192.9.78.14:/export/install/indiana_net_all,install_boot=192.9.78.14:/export/install/indiana_net_all/boot,livemode=text
module /I86PC.Solaris_11-2/x86.microroot
I vaguely recall following the instructions here for an automated install -
