Well, guys, this is my delimma:

I have a SPARCclassic (40MB RAM, 1GB HD), and Solaris 7 install media.
Lacking a CD drive the SPARC will boot from, I intend to netboot the thing
into Solaris 7, and install over the network (Solaris 1.1.2 installs
beautifully with the same procedure).

However, a network installation is done with JumpStart, which seems to
assume that you have a Solaris system, with working NIS/NIS+, to jump
start with.

Is there a way to install Sol 7 the "old-fasioned" way?  I've not been
able to find a working miniroot on the CD to netboot the SPARC with, and
the folder heirarchy isn't very condusive to installing via NFS...
