Nope. The techs at Tadpole RDI told me that Solaris 2.6 revision 3/98 or
5/98 would work. I bought a copy of Solaris 2.6 5/98 and successfully
installed it on my sparcbook.
The basic procedure:
Install Solaris 2.6 from CD
Install Tadpole Patches (from ftp.tadpole.com)
Install Solaris 2.6 Recommended and Y2K Patches
Here is a neat URL, called "Hacking the Sparcbook"

Good luck,
Sean
PS: I'm writing this email on my sparcbook.
