Installing Solaris x86 through an external DVD drive through the USB port...

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?

NAME

       rpc.smserverd - removable media device server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/smedia/rpc.smserverd

DESCRIPTION

       rpc.smserverd is a server that handles requests from client  applications, including the Volume Management daemon (vold(1M)), for access to
       removable media devices.  In addition to vold, rmformat(1) and the  CDE	Filemanager  (when  performing	removable  media  operations)  are
       rpc.smserverd clients.  The rpc.smserverd daemon is started by inetd(1M) when a client makes a call to a Solaris-internal library to access
       a SCSI, IDE, or USB device. The daemon is not started if a client attempts to access a  floppy or PCMCIA device. Once started,  the  daemon
       remains	active until such time as it is idle for three minutes or more.

       The  rpc.smserverd daemon is provided for the exclusive use of the client applications mentioned above. It has no external, customer-acces-
       sible interfaces, including no configuration file.
