You have to netboot them. Same process after that for doing password
recovery as a CD boot is.

You could potentially take off the cover, hook up an IDE CD-ROM drive
to one of the IDE buses and boot from there too, but netbooting is
easy enough to setup if you have another Solaris system and media
(ie. need media for CD boot too) around.
