How would I rebuild the sun solaris kernel to include my new Oracle paramters?

Normally you would add any parameters to /etc/system and reboot.

Example of section from /etc/system for Oracle:
*
* Oracle
*
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=2000000000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmap=128
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=9000
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=9000
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=9000
set semsys:seminfo_semume=128
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=500
*set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=200
set pt_cnt=128

thankyou!
what if you have a typo in the paramter or something doesnt go write after you reboot?

Then the system will report the error on boot and disregard the line.

Of course, if the line is correct but you allocated too much of your memory to something, then you will have fun booting into single user to correct your error.
