Help: Problem w installing Orcale8 on Solaris 2.6

Hi,

I trying to install an Orcale8 Enterprise Server evaluation Version on my goog old Sun Sparc1
and have trouble in creating the default datbase. The servermanager is failing with the follwoing:

Command: (/vol2/oracle/oracle8.0.4.0.0/bin/svrmgrl <<! @/vol2/oracle/admin/ORCL/create/startORCL.sql exit
!), Out,Err=/vol2/oracle/oracle8.0.4.0.0/orainst/sql.log Status: 0
{

| Ok: alter database "ORCL" open resetlogs
| Ok: *
| Ok: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
| Ok: Disconnected.
| Ok: SVRMGR> Server Manager complete.

}
Result: Ok

I followed the installation instructions for the /etc/system kernel parameters.
Ok, I know that my Sparc1 is not a performance beast but I would like to get
that server running.
I will appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance,

Marc Holz
