But that requires having a DVD-ROM drive and only the Sunblades came with
those as an option. I've got one in another machine but it's in production
use so can't be shut down to remove a piece of hardware just for an install
of Solaris. None of my normal CD-ROM drives read DVD-ROM's - I guess the
data format is different.

At least Sun had the good sense to include CD's and not including CD's would
have forced many users to abandon the older hardware (but that's probably
what Sun wants anyway).
