I am running Solaris 2.3 on a SparcServer 1000, with ORACLE 7.0.15.4. Per the ORACLE installation guide, I added these lines to my /etc/system file. I haven't had any problems.

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=8388608
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=200
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=20
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=400
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=140
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100

At one point I was running 7.0.13 under Solaris 2.2 on a SparcStation 10, and I seem to remember that the settings were the same.

Hope this helps.
