reset values for vmstat

How do you reset the values that vmstat displays?
Vmstat displays a running average from the last the system was restarted on the first line, how do you reset these values without restarting the system? (Solaris 8)

You can't - it takes a reboot to reset them.

See sunmanagers.org archive

reset values for vmstat
