Hi there,

I want to find the procedure to install the Solaris 9 OS on a SunFire V 120 from a Winblows laptop. The details are that the 120 has no CD - DVD drive, and i was wondering if i can take advantage of the laptop's drive to do the installation. From the search i did i could only find ways to use the laptop only if it had a x86 Solaris on it, or if the 120 had a CD drive installed.
I suppose that from the serial connection getting into ok prompt i would have to say something in the means of setenv boot-device net ...... whatever else..
Thanks in advance
 
You would need to set up a jumpstart server on the laptop first which would mean loading Solaris on it.
