Unfortunately not quite :)
The Shell scripts in slim_source[0] at this time only support mounting
usb or cdrom but downloading the .zlib files into a tmpfs could be
added. PR's Welcome :) Let me know if you need help how to modify the
script. OmniOSCE has it's own handling of installation which supports -B
install_media

I *think* adding the following to the kernel line ought to do the trick
-B install_media=http://1.2.3.4/media/directory/
where the url there is the directory containing the solaris.zlib file (and
for some releases, any other zlib files).
You'll probably need to use the IP address.

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, I searched long and hard
and could not find what I really needed.
I have a working iPXE server with various Linux and Windows images served
up over HTTP.
For OI I tried the usual tricks of specifying the kernel and initrd and
then issuing a boot command but the installer always stops just after
"Probing for device nodes ...
Preparing live image for use"
and then
"Requesting System Maintenance Mode" appears.
Are there kernel parameters or something else I need to issue to tell the
OI system more about the location of boot folder, solaris.zlib etc?
If there are links to documentation which solve this issue I would be
grateful to get them.
thanks
Martin
