announce grub-driven net install RFE



It used to be, in solaris 10, that it was possible to write a custom grub menu entry, to boot off the network and do a net install.

Kinda-sorta the equivalent of sparc's "setenv network-boot-arguments".

Sadly, it does not seem possible to do this any more.

If you'd like to see them fix what they broke, and you have a support contract, please link the following RFE to your support contract:


RFE 7179625 : Solaris 11 can not do direct install without using PXE or DHCP. This worked in Solaris 10.
