Right, I didn't run Solaris 8 on it.
Solaris 9, no problem, build9x is in fact a VM on ESX.
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 important word here is "SPARC" :-( You have solaris8 and solaris9
brands on Sparc (in fact, build8s and build9s are branded zones on
the same machine as build10s is a native zone), and lx-(Linux-)brands
on x86. That means no Linux on Sparc and no Solaris 8/9 on x86.
Best regards
