    You need the Boot directory from a Solaris 8 sparc CD. Simply copy that to
    the x86 box and when you set up the Solaris 9 install server from Solaris
    9 sparc media, use the -t option to specify the location where you copied
    the Solaris 8 miniroot:

    x86-system# ./setup_install_server -t Boot_dir_path install_dir_path

    And it would be nice if you reported your success or failure.
