I have a Sunfire server that does not have a CDROM. First, I want to reformat and partition to make it larger. Second, I want to reinstall the OS. I just want to know how about reinstalling the OS without a CDROM and I don't want to set up a Jumpstart server. What's the simple way of getting this done. I'm mainly work with 2000 so I don't have enough experience with the Solaris. Thanks.

no way! You need a Jumpstart Server if you don't have a CDROM Drive...
Jumpstart is not that complex; it's more or less 3 Scripts to run; I recommend to have a HUB (not a Switch! Or open Broadcasts on your Switch) between Jumpstart Server and Client
If you need more info: just ask!
