The SPARC installation should be no problem.
However, there are serious problems in Sun's
handling of the disk partition table on x86
systems, since Solaris 2.4 if not earlier.
If you can use some other tool to create the
right partition types before starting Solaris
installation, it should work better. You
don't really need an x86-boot partition, if
you ignore the "Web Start" CD-ROM and use
the Software CD-ROM # 1 instead.
