we can use NFS to load it . Start NFS services on both the machines.

If you are trying to use some file without copying it use lofiadm command

# lofiadm -a /export/home/sol-10-u6-ga1-sparc-dvd.iso

It returns a /dev/lofi/# path

Mount this path to a directory

# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/# /mnt

When done unmount and delete the lofi device

# umount /mnt
# lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/#

Hope it helps...or let us know more about what you want.
