The Sunray is a different kettle of fish. It doesn't run Solaris itself
.. it's little more than an X terminal.

IIRC, Solaris used to want people do have a /export/Solaris-2.5-sparc
directory, which was an install of Solaris-2.5. Then, you did something
like
ln -s /export/Solaris-2.5-sparc/usr /export/10.2.1.2/usr
cp -a /export/Solaris-2.5-sparc/{etc,var,...} /export/10.2.1.2/
and you were sorted. /export/home was the home directory for users then.
