the solaris 2.8 x86 Intel edition software is 5-6 CD's. I installed one just yesterday. The trickiest part can be finding the correct NIC and video drivers. I use basic Dell Dimension machines usually w 3com NIC's. If your NIC happens to be a common 3Com 3C905C you will have to add entries in /etc/driver_aliases and /boot/solaris/devicedb/master
The 1rst CD in the set should be bootable. Make sure your boot order in bios tries cdrom before hard disk and it should work.
