You can. The only problem is that it is difficult to read the information from the SPARC CD set (due to the differences in x86 and SPARC UFS filesystems).

If you have the SPARC DVD (or even just the DVD .iso), then it's easier. The same information is replicated so that it is easier to copy onto x86.

Since you only have CD drives, I'd recommend copying the DVD image to the machine, then using lofiadm to mount it up.

Once mounted, it's the same thing as on SPARC, just run the setup_install_server and add_install_client stuff.
