Solaris 8 doesn't support Sparc 2's. I'm not sure that Solaris 8 is really
any heavier than 2.6 though. Still I really don't expect 8 to boot on a
SS2, besides even 2.6 on a SS2 with 96MB RAM is pretty painful.
IIRC, my SS20/712 is now running Solaris 8 after the disk upgrade I did a
while back. The only problem is, it's shutdown until we get cooler
weather, it just puts out to much heat into the room to have it running
since we don't have AC.
