It can certainly be done. I have numerous Solaris servers booting from NetApp luns.
It has been quite a while since I was involved in setting this up here, so some of the steps required may have changed. For Solaris 10, section 2.1 is definitely not required.
There is an old article here:
BigAdmin Feature Article: Automating the Installation of an FC-Fabric SAN Booted System
Also there were a number of the versions of FCode for some HBAs that prevented SAN boot, so you might also need to make sure that you have working versions.
