You can setup an Ultrix machine with suitable disk space to be
a Remote Installation Server (RIS), or is it referred to as the
Remote Installation Service? Well anyway, there's a ton of steps
in the Ultrix admin guides explaining how to set the box up as a
bootp/tftp server, how to set up a filesystem with the Ultrix
software "sets," et cetera. I don't think I have that binder
around, but perhaps Google can help...
This link will at least explain what RIS is and how it works,
though the whole document is focused on setting up RIS on a box
running Digital Unix:

Sorry, in the time I've got I don't see any links for the actual
Ultrix OS installation guide. But that's what would walk you
through setting up an RIS server -- hopefully that tip will get
you a little closer.
Good luck,
