That is x86 arch and we do not know about the proc from that data.

Try :

$ uname -X
System = SunOS
Node = aequitas
Release = 5.11
KernelID = snv_91
Machine = i86pc
BusType = <unknown>
Serial = <unknown>
Users = <unknown>
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 1

old Solaris 8 on Sparc looks like

# cat /etc/release
                       Solaris 8 2/04 s28s_hw4wos_05a SPARC
