Why did you buy the DVD media and not the CDs if your machine lacks a DVD drive ?

You can install Solaris on the x86 box and use it as a jumpstart server. Not a easy task if you aren't already familiar with the process though.

A simpler solution would be to download SPARC CD images, record them and install from this media.
