upgrade solaris8 to Open Solaris

Hello,
Is there any think specific I need to take care, before I proceed?

When I did:

1/. start machine, with 'STOP A', got to the OK prompt
2/. boot cdrom
3/. i got a message, something like this version is not compatible with the current OS

so, what is the correct way to upgrade a Solaris8 to Open Solars, or even making a clean install of it?

many thanks
