Gday Som,
what you're in need of is what's known as an ITU - Install
Time Update. This is also known as a DU - Driver Update.

You need to get your package and installation scripts
into ITU format, and at the moment you need to pull down
the SUNWpkgd package from sun.com:

Caveat - this will create _either_ a 32bit _or_ a 64bit
package for you.

Once you've got the ITU or DU created, you transfer it to
your usb stick (tar generally works fine here), and when
you boot your system you choose the option to add an Install
Time Update (or Driver Update).
