[indiana-discuss] Installation options for an Ultra-60

Hi,

I have an Ultra-60 (2x400MHz CPUs, 2 GiB RAM, elite-3D graphics)
and I'm keen to install OpenSolaris.  There are three wrinkles:

- the box only has a CDROM, not a DVDROM
- my OBP is 3.31.  That means that AI images won't work, right?
- I don't have any other Solaris boxen, so jumpstarting is tricky (impossible?)

Can I do this?  How?

Thanks,
Andrew

PS: I'm happy to update the OBP to a newer revision, but I haven't found one.
I guess 3.31 is the latest for this hardware.
