Since i appears that your default boot device is net it may be possible.

I'm guessing that the only other machine you have available is a windows based machine.

Download VMware server from www.vmware.com and the x86 version of Solaris.

Install VMware and choose 'bridged mode' for networking during setup. Install solaris x86 into a vm, then using the SPARC iso create a jumpstart in the VM. You should then be able to boot the blade over the network.

I download the VMware software, it didn't ask me to choose 'bridge mode' in the setup wizard, and i don't understand where and how i should install solaris x86 into a vm, then using the SPARC iso create a jumpstart in the VM.

I install 10base cable from the sunblade system to my windows laptop and i get this message

Boot device: net File and args:
Link hasn't comeup yet.
Will try to communicate anyway.
Network Link Setup Failed.
Please Check Cable and Try Again.

Thank you.
