Ken,

It's not because of "1 and 2" it's because of this:

Certify - Certification Matrix: Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition on Solaris Operating System (SPARC)

Solaris 2.6 	ORACLE 9.2 Addtl. Info.: NONE
Solaris 9 	ORACLE 9.2 Addtl. Info.: NONE
Solaris 8 	ORACLE 9.2 Addtl. Info.: NONE
Solaris 7 	ORACLE 9.2 Addtl. Info.: NONE
Solaris 10 	ORACLE 9.2 Addtl. Info.: NONE

NONE additional steps to take going from 2.6->9 that is over 10 years of trouble free operation!
