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

What was the exact message that you got?

ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ide@d/cdrom@2, 0:f File args:
Error: 'SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIe' is not supported by this release of Solaris.
