At the shell prompt, type in ulimit. If it says unlimited, you are seeing a bogus message from root.sh - read the script at that point, you'll see some laughable test that translates to English like "if you aren't doing this some strange way that no one ever does on Solaris, print the error message."

If you type in ulimit and get a number, be sure that it is larger than specified in the install guide. Ulimit (as you can read in man ulimit) is a limit on the resources available to the current shell and it's descendents, not a limitation that you would want to pass on to all of Oracle.

You can probably get better (well, at least more) answers by posting in comp.databases.oracle.server, as comp.databases.oracle has been superceded.
