I successfully installed some days ago f9 x86_64 this way on a laptop:
- on F9 x86 server I have f9_x86_64.iso file and mount it as a loop
device; then I export the mounted path via nfs
- on laptop I install f9_x86_64 via nfs.
Note that in my case I used an usb key as boot device for the laptop.
For doing that I had to use the diskboot.img from f8 and then
overwrite kernel and initrd with what provided in boot.iso of f9.
I also had to delete the splash image because the new files didn't fit
on the size of the f8 media.
But the installation went fine.
I don't know if you can boot from usb, though....
