Sorry about giving you the wrong path, I'm not on a Solaris box right now, what's in /platform, /platform/i86pc/boot and /platform/i86pc/ kernel (Are they directories?) the actual kernel should be called 'unix' and you could run file on it to see what it was built against, but that's with Solaris 10, I haven't poked around with the kernel on Nevada, it might be contained completely in the boot_archive, doubt it though. You should be able to specify kernel /path/to/unix directly.
As for Solaris 10, I'd go with the most current, being U4 08/07, but have U3 handy if things quirk.
