The right X86-grub entries should be able to boot the miniroot
from the net, if grub is PXE enabled and a direct or NATted
Internet connection exists...
pxegrub fetched by the PXE BIOS/NIC uses this menu.lst:
default=0
timeout=2
title Solaris_11 Jumpstart
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_11-10/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix - install nowin
-B
install_config=192.168.1.19:/opt/SUNWjet,sysid_config=192.168.1.19:/opt/SUNWjet/Clients/soalrisbox,install_media=192.168.1.19:/jumpstartmedia/Sol_11_x86_nv69,install_boot=192.168.1.19:/jumpstartmedia/Sol_11_x86_nv69/boot
module /I86PC.Solaris_11-10/x86.miniroot
pxegroup might be usable form floppy or a bootabe USB-stick,
since we do not have a suitable DHCP-Server sending the
boot-configuration along the IP-Address.
