I have a sparc 5 running Solaris 7. I want to look
into upgrading to solaris 8, but I do not have any
other kit available, so I want to be able to run/test
solaris 8 out of hours & reboot to 7 for normal daily
use.
Is it possible to have install 8 on another
partition(s) ( i have enough disk space to keep all
file systems separate), if so how?? and how do I boot
the different OS's.
What successes/failures have other had. Any 'gotchas'
or pitfalls I need to be aware of??

Thanks in advance
