If your HW is 64-bit capable then Solaris automatically loads x64 kernel.
To manually load 32 bit kernel you need to modify grub options. For testing purposes you can play with grub prompt and then remove from boot menu -64 option or similar. For permanent loading you need to edit grub.conf file.
To see content of your GRUB you can issue as root
and look under genunix options for -64 or something simmilar

Can I run 32 bit apps on a 64 bit x86 Solaris machine?
