No. Check the darwin supported hardware list, from the same place you got
the Darwin/x86 install image.
Check the archives for a discussion on Darwin/x86 boot floppies. The
answer is no, you can't. There was discussion on people thinking about
how they could possibly make it work, but no work has been done in that
direction.
