Has anyone managed to do this before?  I'm trying to set Solaris 11.3 up.

A) Solaris is not even remotely CentOS

B) Last time I did network installs of Solaris (which was Solaris 9 and 10), it used a completely different setup, involving a RARP server (reverse ARP) rather then DHCP/bootp, and a bootparamd(?) server to specify the configuration, instead of DHCP PXE options. It then used tftp and NFS to fetch the boot image and OS installation stuff, per the recipe in bootparamd. Look up documentation on Solaris Jumpstart for the specifics. Setup correctly, its completely hands off, and was designed to support diskless workstations.
