OpenSolaris 2008.05 does not yet support SPARC, so the closest you
can get today is upgrading to the current release of Solaris Express
Community Edition (SXCE) - you can upgrade to that using the same
mechanisms as traditional Solaris releases - either using Live Upgrade
or booting the install media/network image and using the upgrade option.
A prototype of OpenSolaris 2008.11 for SPARC has been created & booted - how
much of it will be ready for the 2008.11 release in November is TBD.
