Question Jumpstart Installation from X86 machine
Hi friends ,

i have on ultra 10 Sparc machine . Due to some problem my OS is fully corrupted , so i am planning to install again but my problem is the cd drive in Ultra 10 machine is not working.

Now i am planning to use Jumpstart installation method to install my server.
But i don't have any other Sparc servers.

Is it possible to use Jumpstart installation from my x86 DVD drive to install OS for my Ultra 10 sparc server.

Please let me know to solve the problem or any other way to install sparc OS with out CD drive .


Thanks In advance
