[SunHELP] Solaris Sparc 2.6 Upgrade to 2.8

[Michael Karl]

Hi Jake,

Mike is right ... make a full new installation.

I'd tried several times a upgrade ... afterwards no machine had worked fine.

Now I install Solaris 8 on a second disc and than copy all necessary files
from the Sol-2.6- to the Sol-2.8-disc, test every thing and bring the new
Sol-2.8-installation with ufsdump, ufsrestore back to the original first
disc. (Don't forget installboot)

Michael
