Hi Eric,

You should read on the web about doing a network install.  In brief, you
set up another machine on your network with a boot image, and then
configure the Sun box to download this image instead of booting from the
CD.

This is done from the OpenPROM so there is no need to have a working OS
on the machine already.

You can probably find all the information you need with google, but this
might get you started.

In particular, section 4.4.

Regards,
Jim
