Ok.. I assume the issue is you don't have solaris installed already, and thus cant run pfexec to install the USB.
For my solution you'll need: * A CD with Milax * 1 free USB slot * Over 512 Mb of RAM Before starting, make sure you have http://www.genunix.org/distributions/dss/milax032.usb and http://www.milax.org/files/usbcopy.v200 on the USB.. using the standard fat32 file system Now boot into the Milax LiveCD, and open a shell/terminal Plug in the USB It should have mounted under /media (check o/p of 'mount' command). copy the file to RAM.. #cp /media/KINGSTON/milax032.usb /media/KINGSTON/usbcopy.v200 /tmp (replace the right path) Next run #pfexec /tmp/usbcopy.v200 /tmp/milax032.usb and follow the instructions.. hope this helped.
