yes, true, well that would mean that you would have to know what the future will bring :-)
to be honest, solaris10 is the first release from sun where they don't support the veryveryvery old mashines with the superscalar sparcs. in the past, you were able to install solaris9 on every mashine from sun which was ever sold. even on the old IPX or sparcstations. that's a very nice advantage of solaris against e.g. IBM AIX, that you can run the same OS on the oldest and newest sun or smallest and biggest. Solaris doesn't depend on the hardware it's always the same core kernel image, everything else is made with enviroment-modules...

example:

Code:

E4500
root@scnode2 # modinfo
 Id Loadaddr   Size Info Rev Module Name
  0  1000000  c3720   -   0  unix ()
  1  1077fc8  1d99a   -   0  krtld ()
  2  10908c0 19f348   -   0  genunix ()
  3  11de7b0    748   -   0  platmod ()
  4  11dee00   d048   -   0  SUNW,UltraSPARC-II ()
.....
...
..

ultra5
root@mptest01 # modinfo | more
 Id Loadaddr   Size Info Rev Module Name
  0  1000000  c3720   -   0  unix ()
  1  1077fc8  1d992   -   0  krtld ()
  2  10908c0 19f348   -   0  genunix ()
  3  11de7b0     a8   -   0  platmod ()
  4  11de880   d048   -   0  SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi ()
....
..
.

V440
 Id Loadaddr   Size Info Rev Module Name
  0  1000000  c35b0   -   0  unix ()
  1  1077e70  1d99a   -   0  krtld ()
  2  1090768 19f2d8   -   0  genunix ()
  3  11de5e8    c38   -   0  platmod ()
  4  11df100  14388   -   0  SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi ()
...
..
.

just have a look into your /platform directory, you will see there which mashines are supported by your solaris revision

modinfo

modinfo(1M)                                               System Administration Commands                                               modinfo(1M)

NAME

       modinfo - display information about loaded kernel modules

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/modinfo [-c] [-w] [-i module-id]

DESCRIPTION

       The modinfo utility displays information about the loaded modules. The format of the information is as follows:

       Id Loadaddr Size Info Rev Module Name

       where  Id  is  the  module ID, Loadaddr is the starting text address in hexadecimal, Size is the size of text, data, and bss in hexadecimal
       bytes, Info is module specific information, Rev is the revision of the loadable modules  system,  and  Module  Name  is  the  filename  and
       description of the module.

       The module specific information is the block and character major numbers for drivers, the system call number for system calls, and unspeci-
       fied for other module types.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -c              Display the number of instances of the module loaded and the module's current state.

       -i module-id    Display information about this module only.

       -w              Do not truncate module information at 80 characters.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Displaying the Status of a Module

       The following example displays the status of module 2:

       example% modinfo -i 2
       Id   Loadaddr   Size Info Rev Module Name
        2    ff08e000   1734   -   1  swapgeneric (root and swap configuration)

       Example 2: Displaying the Status of Kernel Modules

       The following example displays the status of some kernel modules:

       example% modinfo
       Id Loadaddr   Size Info Rev Module Name
        2  ff08e000   1734   -   1  swapgeneric
        4  ff07a000   3bc0   -   1  specfs (filesystem for specfs)
        6  ff07dbc0   2918   -   1  TS (time sharing sched class)
        7  ff0804d8    49c   -   1  TS_DPTBL (Time sharing dispatch table)
        8  ff04a000  24a30   2   1  ufs (filesystem for ufs)
        9  ff080978   c640 226   1  rpcmod (RPC syscall)
        9  ff080978   c640   -   1  rpcmod (rpc interface str mod)
       10  ff08cfb8  2031c   -   1  ip (IP Streams module)
       10  ff08cfb8  2031c   2   1  ip (IP Streams device)

       Example 3: Using the -c Option

       Using the modinfo command with the -c option displays the number of instances of the module loaded and the module's current state.

       example% modinfo -c
       Id    Loadcnt Module Name                            State
         1          0 krtld                            UNLOADED/UNINSTALLED
