It's an old IBM Netfinity 5600. I've tried an IDE DVD drive but, for some reason, I can't get it to work.
The server has dual PIII 1Ghz CPUs. The NIC that's in the box (Intel PCI-X 64bit 1000 MT Server Adapter<http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000mt_server_adapter.htm>) has PXE but it doesn't come up as part of POST. I've even ran the Intel tool to enable PXE via floppy (http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-009229.htm). :( From: Gray, Duncan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 1 March 2010 3:24 PM To: Murray Blakeman; ug-msosug at opensolaris.org Subject: RE: [ug-msosug] Installing Solaris 10 u8 Which system is it?

Solaris 10 u8 is only available on DVD :( I have another server with a functional Jumpstart Environment with Update 8 setup for deployment. I've read that you can initiate a Jumpstart build from Grub (CDROM/Floppy). Any assistance on how I can get u8 on this server? The server has an Intel e1000g (MT Server Adapter). Thanks :) p.s. I want to use ZFS boot (mirror) of course Sensis.
