Rarp/dhcp net booting uses no solaris - but also no linux ;-) Under solaris for some kind of sparc machines you can get a flash utility which works from a running Solaris OS. So at least for that systems, it should be theoretical possible to upgrade OBP from linux, too. But there are probably a lot of people with better knowledge about that stuff in the solaris/opensolaris communities.
