Hmmmmm........sounds like an interesting one. Also, sounds like a hardware issue to me.

The bit of your post that worries me is:

For second option I try to "reinstall Solaris 8" using the "original CD's" but when the CD Boot and I select the language and Keyboard, the system tru to launch a window manager but the same error appear "/usr/openwin/bin/xinit: Server error". So, I can't reinstall all the system to Smilie

Windows won't launch unless it can address ALL the devices it uses; graphics card, monitor, keyboard and mouse.

I'd be inclined to power down, unplug and re-plug any all of those devices. I'd be giving the mouse a long hard look.
If you have another system, borrow devices from that one until it will boot from installation media. You don't need to proceed with any re-installation after you've determined what the problem is.

PCPPI(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						  PCPPI(4)

NAME

     pcppi -- PC (ISA) control port driver

SYNOPSIS

     pcppi*   at acpi?
     pcppi*   at isa?
     isabeep* at pcppi?
     (alpha only)
     sysbeep* at pcppi?
     (i386 only)
     spkr0    at pcppi?
     midi*    at pcppi?

DESCRIPTION

     The pcppi driver handles resource allocation and device attachment for the ports related to the ISA speaker in the traditional PC/AT
     ``design''.  These are the ``system control port'' (which was implemented by the 8255 ``PPI'' in the XT, hence the name of this driver) at IO
     address 0x61.

     When associated with an attimer(4) device, it is possible to change the pitch of the sounds emitted through pcppi.

     The pcppi driver provides its child devices with the ability to output simple tones through the PC speaker. The speaker(4) and midi(4)
     devices use this to synthesize sounds.  The isabeep(4) and sysbeep(4) devices are helpers which the pckbd(4) driver uses as a substitute for
     a ``keyboard beep'', because the PC keyboard hardware doesn't provide this.
