Oracle 9i Installation problem on Solaris 8 - Wrong Kernel Parameters?

Hello,
I tried to install the Oracle 9i Database on a Sun Solaris SPARC machine and ran into a problem with creating databses.

The installation went fine without any errors. But when the Oracle Databse Configuration Assistant was started, it stopped with an error while trying to create and start the oracle instance. When clicking on 'Ignore', it continues with more errors. The error messages:

ORA-2730: failure occured at: skgpwreset1

ORA-27303: additional information: invalid ctx

ORA-27146: post/wait initialization failed

ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation: semget failed with status: 28

ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device

ORA-27302: failure occured at sskgpcreates

ORA-01304: ORACLE not available

..and so on..

There is enough space on the mount point of the oracle database, I added the following lines to /etc/system:

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4924967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=400
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=200
set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767

I would be deeply grateful if anyone can help me with this.

BTW, the same errors occured when I started dbca manually, also after a reboot of the machine.
