Default SunPCi II and machines without CDROM drive

Hello!

I have a SunFire V240 without CDROM drive. The machine have a SunPCi II card
but how do I install the guest operating system (Win2000) when I do not have
a CDROM drive.
Is it somehow possible to mount an ISO image of the Windows CD and install
from that?

Thank you in advance,
- Morten Green Hermansen, Fanitas

You should be able to mount it on another machine, share it via nfs and
then install from it over the network.
