You must have one install server on you network and one boot server on each of your subnets.
. If the install sever and the boot server are on different subnets, the boot server must be on the same subnet as the install-client.
On the server, insert the Solaris CD-ROM
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_8/Tools
sunkay# ./setup_install_server /export/install/Solaris_8
botha1# ./setup_install_server /export/install/Solaris_8
botha1# eject cdrom
botha1# (mount cdrom Solaris_2_of_2)
botha1# cd /cdrom/sol_8_1001_sparc_2/Solaris_8/Tools
botha1# add_to_install_server /export/install/Solaris_8
botha1# eject cdrom
