Installing OpenSolaris on Sun v120
I have come into my possesion a v120 server at work that was decommisioned from another project. I don't have the Solaris Installation CD nor do I have root or any user credentials on this server. My goal was to install OpenSolaris on this server and use it as a playground for learning UNIX admistration. I am communicating with the server using serial port and Hyper Terminal via LOM port. I place the OpenSolaris 2008.11 CD in CD drive and when I poweron from LOM, it takes me to login prompt, not installation setup.
My Questions:
1) Is what I am trying to accomplish possible in the first place?
2) How do I get server to boot from CD drive? Also, not sure if the CD is mounted, but I can't log into server anyways to find out.
3) Are there any other options for installing OpenSolaris?
Thanks!

option
lpoptions [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h server[:port] ] -x destination[/instance]
DESCRIPTION
lpoptions displays or sets printer options and defaults. lpoptions shows the default printer options when run with no arguments. Other
options include:
-E
Enables encryption when communicating with the CUPS server.
-U username
Uses an alternate username.
-d destination[/instance]
Sets the user default printer to destination. If instance is supplied then that particular instance is used. This option overrides the
system default printer for the current user.
-h server[:port]
Uses an alternate server.
-l
Lists the printer specific options and their current settings.
-o option[=value]
Specifies a new option for the named destination.
-p destination[/instance]
Sets the destination and instance, if specified, for any options that follow. If the named instance does not exist then it is created.
-r option
Removes the specified option for the named destination.
-x destination[/instance]
Removes the options for the named destination and instance, if specified. If the named instance does not exist then this does nothing.
If no options are specified using the -o option, then the current options for the named printer are reported on the standard output.
Options set with the lpoptions command are used by the lp(1) and lpr(1) commands when submitting jobs.
ROOT ACCOUNT OPTIONS
When run by the root user, lpoptions gets and sets default options and instances for all users in the /etc/cups/lpoptions file.
COMPATIBILITY
The lpoptions command is unique to CUPS.
FILES
~/.cups/lpoptions - user defaults and instances created by non-root users.
/etc/cups/lpoptions - system-wide defaults and instances created by the root user.
