It become very complicated. Get entire disk or install fresh system from scratch. Or create flar and make installation from this Here is an article I write some time ago for installation from flar: http://it.toolbox.com/wiki/index.php/Install_Solaris_from_flash_archive

I think I need to add to it as an option like '-hda image-file' where the image-file must be a valid image from a real working Solaris8 on Sparc platform hard drive. To this end, I need to make a minimum size image from my Solaris8 on Sparc platform hard dirve to let that virtual Sparc to be booted from. So I do not really need to make image of all of the applications that are currently being installed on that Solaris8 on Sparc platform. I just need to let it to be booted from Solaris8 image and then I will install the needed application on it separately.Please let me know which are the minimum requirements?
