[rescue] Sparc OS Install over serial

I'm looking for a way to bootstrap and install any modern OS (preferably
some flavor of linux) to a SS or Ultra class sparc, but only use the
serial port - no floppy, cd, network, or hard disk to bootstrap from. My
console does _not_ need to be on the serial port. Googling has only turned
up ways of using the serial port as concole during install. I was hoping
there's a way to pull this off from the prom - does anyone know if this is
possible?
