Forgive me if this question has been asked recently, but I have been
searching for any references and I'm coming up blank...

I need to install Solaris fresh onto a SparcStation5 I got my hands on, but
it has no cd-rom. How do I install from a cd-rom on another SparcStation
that is on my network?

I just need someone to point me to the proper FAQ or document, and I think I
can figure out the rest.

Thanks in advance,
Brad

Look in the papers in the media kit for instructions on using
Jumpstart. You need to set up some other computer as a Jumpstart
server (either NFS exporting the mounted CD-ROM, or NFS exporting
a filesystem with a copy of the CD-ROM, plus some other things
like rarpd, bootparamd, tftpd).
