   Thanks for posting this! It helped a lot. FYI: tweaking install-discovery is actually all that is required within the miniboot. You can use a compressed archive (tar/gzip/bzip/zip) for the pre and post scripts, rules[.ok] and sysidcfg. Just modify your GRUB command:

   kernel$ /boot/platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix - install file:///cdrom/Site_Files/Client1/config.zip -B install_media=cdrom

   ***note: file://..... does not work - or at least it didn't for me - it must be file:///........

   For further reference take a look at: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4042 (Solaris 10 5/08 Installation Guide: Custom JumpStart and Advanced Installations).
