I would take a look at the following doc that is on Sun's web site

Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Custom JumpStart and Advanced Installations
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5506

That should contain all the info you need.

I think "on the same subnet" just means you don't need a boot server.

Anyway, I have notes and scripts to do net_install for x86.
I used to net_install SPARC box also when I had one, but had lost those
SPARC specific arguments for the same commands.

It breaks down to the following steps.
(in sample commands, my install server's IP is 10.0.0.2)

0. Optional: reset services/cleanup settings if previous setup failed.
   Inc. removing tftp, dhcp, dns shares etc.

1. Mount DVD/CD image and setup install server.
   lofiadm -a [iso_file]
   mount -F hsfs [lofi_dev] /xxx
   /xxx/Solaris_*/Tools/setup_install_server (add_to_install_server)

2. Setup DHCP service.
   dhcpconfig -Uhx
   dhcpconfig -D -r SUNWfiles -p /var/dhcp
   dhcpconfig -N 10.0.0.0 -t 10.0.0.1 -m 255.255.255.0

3. Add macro definition to DHCP configuration table.
   For x86 with PXE:
   add_install_client -d i86pc i86pc
   dhtadm -A -m PXEClient:Arch:00000:UNDI:002001
-d':BootSrvA=10.0.0.2:BootFile="PXEClient:Arch:00000:UNDI:002001":'

4. Add individual client.

   e.g. add x86 client 'w2100z/10.0.0.7' with mac address 00:0a:e4:29:bf:b6 :

   pntadm -A 10.0.0.7 -h w2100z -m 10.0.0.0 -y -i 000AE429BFB6 10.0.0.0
   add_install_client -d -e "00:0a:e4:29:bf:b6" i86pc
   dhtadm -A -m 01000AE429BFB6 -d':BootSrvA=10.0.0.2:BootFile=01000AE429BFB6:'

5. Enable all necessary services and verify they're setup correctly.

   svcadm restart dhcp-server
   svcadm restart nfs/server
   dhtadm -P
   ls /tftpboot
   svcs | grep tftp
   mount | grep tftp
   etc.

You will use different arguments for the same commands in step 3-4 for T2000.
See if this doc helps:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5776/6n7r9js3o?a=view#netinstalldvd-ex-15

Besides Sun's document, there're other resources on the web for this
topic, use google, but I had hard time following them when I first
tried time.

Although not for T2000, I hope this breakdown help you a little bit.
