Why do you want to make a CD?  Why not just netboot it directly off of the
other machine?

They actually put a check in for this?  It's been ages since I did an
install on a low memory machine.

If it's in the kernel, you can bypass with kadb.  If it's in userland,
it's similarly avoidable.  There should be no problems as long as you can
add paging space early enough in the boot process.  I once brought up a
4/330 under Solaris 2.4 with only 8MB by accident, though it took more
than an hour.

What is the exact error message you are seeing?
