Right, I didn't run Solaris 8 on it. > If this were an option we would immediately switch Solaris 8 x86 > to VirtualBox on Solaris 10 x86. Any other options? I looked around and found information about branded zones, allowing to run... well, why type when I can just copy-paste: """A Solaris 8 branded zone (solaris8) is a complete runtime environment for Solaris 8 applications on SPARC machines running the Solaris 10 8/07 Operating System or later. The brand supports the execution of 32-bit and 64-bit Solaris 8 applications. solaris8 branded zones are based on the whole root zone model. Each zone's file system contains a complete copy of the software that comprises the operating system. However, solaris8 zones are different from native whole root zones in that central patching is not applied.""" http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2914/gfjbk?a=view I have no idea whether it's feasible.
