[SunHELP] SparcStation 5

[Chris Barnes]

Hi people,
            I'm new to the list. I recently scored my self a SparcStation 5
for a really good price. Only problem is that it doesn't have a floppy or
cd-rom and doesn't have Solaris installed on it.
I've been looking into ways to install Solaris onto it by a net install but
that seems like it might be a bit hard because by the sounds of the
instructions I need another Solaris machine to be the server for the
SparcStation to leech from...I was hoping I could just setup a web server on
my Linux machine or something and point the SparcStation to that...Does
anyone have any ideas, or know any easier ways to install Solaris on this
diskless machine.
I have Solaris 8 for Sparc, but I'm not 100% sure it will work in the
SparcStation 5 because the minimum memory requirements for Solaris 8 is
64meg but my SparcStation only has 32. will Solaris still install? I wasn't
planning on running a window system, just text console. Does anyone know
which version of Solaris will install on my SparcStation 5?
 
Thanks for your help
 
P.S. sorry about the footer...stupid company policy...
