Well a million thanks to:

  Darren Dunham
  Andrew Hay (Sandwich Maker)
  Russell Page
  Dan O'Callaghan
  Chris Ventura

I ended up mounting the CD on a Solaris x86 box and sharing it to my
Jumpstart server. That was enough to be able to run
"setup_install_server" and copy everything I needed from the boot
partition.

Thanks again.
