Boot Over the Network (PXE)

Before You Begin

PXE network boot is an environment to boot computers using a network interface independently of available data storage devices (such as hard disks) or installed operating systems. No boot media is required on the client system. With PXE, you can install an x86-based client over the network by using DHCP.

• Boot over the network using PXE.

  Refer to the booting with PXE instructions in the Oracle Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations for more information at:
