Hi,
I have a solaris 8 installed on intel celeron processor and made it as a install server.
I have one more system with a RTL8139 network card. I want to boot this system over network. Since, there is no driver for RealTek card in /boot/solaris/drivers, device configuration assistant fail to recognize it as a potential boot device.
I am guessing that copying a dos version of RealTek n/w card driver to /boot/solaris/drivers directory will help. But, i am not sure what are other files i need to modify?

Please go to realtek site now the realtek driver for solaris is available there, when you download it then try it again if you have problem then let me know.
