Or if you're short of disk space, remove the Solaris swap partition for the
duration of the install (swap -d) and use that.
Or try something like Sharity Lite which runs on Solaris and lets you mount
a NT share as if it were NFS.

Install Microsoft NFS server onto your Windows PC, and then mount the
directory on your PC.
