Those are both the same question.  The version of the OS for
a netinstall server is completely orthogonal to the version
of the OS you are installing from that netinstall server.

The netinstall server I use has Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 on it.
Actually several versions of each given the "dated" Update
releases.

Just set up the netinstall server as directed in the instructions,
there shouldn't be any extra magic if the OS versions don't match.

Casper (the Solaris FAQ guy) has a nice JumpStart/AutoInstall reference 
configuration on his ftp server.  There's also an example on one of the
Solaris install CD-ROMs in the Misc directory.
