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_ada pter.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).

Solaris 10 u8 is only available on DVD L 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 J p.s.
