well, there are external scsi cdroms.. there's not much difference between external and internal scsi so it should boot
why would you need server for network boot. any computer/notebook should do?
edit: oh, I see, no Solaris10 on cdrom version. but, iirc, there was x86 version 10 cdrom .iso on sun download page. perhaps you could 'slim' down the DVD so that it contains only essential packages. do the minimal install, and proceed from hdd?

Is there a way to install Solaris 10 x86 with an external DVD drive that connects through the USB port? I would think I would run GRUB off of a floppy disk and somehow use that to make it look to the USB port to boot from but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me out? (1 Reply)
