Thumbs down SUN Solaris Installation

I am trying to install Solaris 9.0.4 to SUN Server V210 that does not have the CD/DVD drive. To use net install, I am preparing a target directory on SUN workstation running Solaris 9 x86.
1. Insert the SUN Sol 9 CD 1 ( not the Install CD)
2. I created a target directory_path on SUN Workstation to hold my Installation Software. (I am following the SUN documentation)
3. While executing the following command I am getting error message

/cdrom/sol_9_904_sparc/Solaris_9/Tools
# ./setup_install_server -b /export/install/sol_9

ERROR: Install boot image /cdrom/sol_9_904_sparc/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot does not exist Check that boot image exists, or use [-t] to specify a valid boot image elsewhere.

The Boot file on the CD is a link file pointing to some non existing file ->../../../S1 and there is no such file S1 on the CD.
My question is 2 fold.
Where to find such boot file?
Should I be better off getting a CD/DVD for the server?
Thanks
