1) Fetch the Solaris install CD images from:
http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/solaris-express/get.html

Solaris is free for personal use and free for being used to
develop OSS.

2) "unzip" the CD images

3) use cdrecord to write the CDs

4) Start installation with CD#1

......

5) Take a look at /etc/path_to_inst and call "man path_to_inst"

The used method even works nicely for USB devices.
