Actually I was talking about Sol 9 x86 12/03 cds. For the Sol 9 sparc, I 
can mount the cds on one of my sparc machine, export and mount it on the 
laptop. Works fine that way. Sun is saying that 4/04 will have a boot 
image. I think they ran out of space on 12/03. I  dont know of a 
workaround for the x86. Have you found a way?
