boot server / install server

I have a compaq evo n400c. This computer has no cdrom or floppy drive. In order to boot from thumb drive i need to update bios. The only way to boot is network boot from my desktop.

I am trying to follow a guide
JumpStart Server Configuration ? Solaris 10

I am a bit confused at this steps.

Run the add_install_client script, and specify server and client information as follows. (Note: The following line of code should all be entered on one line.)
  1. ./add_install_client -c server_name:/export/config \
-p server_name:/export/config client_name platform_group

I am assuming that server_name is host name ,and client_name is the name i gave
the compaq. platform_group has me confused.

any ideas welcome
thanks kevin
