I'm completely new to Solaris (been using Linux for years) and have the
4 ISO's for Solaris 10 x86. I don't want to burn them to CD and am
wondering how to install from just the ISO. Last time I did this in
Linux, the ISO's had to be on an Ext2 partitioned HD (probably Ext3
these days) and the boot had to be from the netboot.img (contained on
the CD) after it had been transferred to a floppy. What is required to
do this in Solaris???

I'm just exploring Solaris out of curiosity, I don't want to have to
buy anything.

You want to suggest that that 'something else' somehow involves HP-UX or VMS on Itanic, when it's obvious that people already used to those x86 platforms will far more likely be attracted to Solaris on x86-64 if they can't break out of that Windows mind-set and expand using the same OSs that they currently use on x86. ...
