It's not designed for that, it's very specifically built to be a live 
CD.  The Automated Installation portion of the Caiman project is 
developing network installation capability for OpenSolaris, see 
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/auto_install/

There is a prototype you can play with, but it's not intended for
