Sun systems can be installed from a network install server. I don't know how to setup a linux server to do that though.
On a Solaris network install you would set up another system with the dvd image shared out over nfs, and set it up to provide dhcp for net and network boot image, using jumpstart.
Then on a sparc processor from in obp you do ok> boot net
On an x86 Sun box you use the F12 key in the ilom to tell it to PXE boot
I believe linux has kickstart (similar to Solaris jump start).
