Hello,

I have a 170mhz sun ultra 1 and I just loaded solaris 8 on it.  I
noticed I am getting this message when it boots:

NOTICE: 64-bit OS installed, but the 32-bit OS is the default
        for the processor(s) on this system.
        See boot(1M) for more information.

Booting the 32-bit OS ...

Is it safe to run the 64 bit os on this platform?  If so how would I
cause it to start in 64bit mode?
