" 	I have not done this in a long while, so: If I boot from the Solaris 9

you can with solarii up to 8 at least.  you don't even have to exit
the install script; just let it hang at the first question.
right-click on the background and you should get a menu which includes
a sunterm window.

afaik s9 works the same way, odd since openwin isn't included with it.
i haven't tried 9.

i vaguely recall that if you boot -s the cd it won't start the
install.
