 docs.sun.com: Binary Compatibility Guide
Enable SunOS 4.x executable files in a.out object file format to execute on the Solaris 8 release (where the default object file format is ELF).
Whenever possible, provide SunOS 4.x-compatible versions of system files when the file formats are different or the SunOS 4.x files have no counterpart in the Solaris 8 release.
Provide SunOS 4.x behavior for all library routines and system calls, including those with new interfaces or different behaviors: even if the interface to or behavior of the calls differs, this mapping ensures that the SunOS 4.x binaries will get the expected behavior.

 FAQ: Sun Computer Administration Frequently Asked Questions
In SunOS 4.x the amount of swap space and Virutal memory are one and the same so you need at least as much swap as real memory.
SunOS 4.1 and later shouldn't get "inode: table is full", as that table is dynamically allocated; SunOS 5.0 should dynamically allocate entries in most if not all of those tables.
Under SunOS 4.1, you can run "showfh" to translate the NFS "file handle" given in the error message into a Unix pathname.

 compat_sunos(1) manual page
The exceptions include programs that use the SunOS kvm library, and various system calls, ioctl()'s, or kernel semantics that are difficult to emulate.
Compatibility with SunOS version 5 and later, better known as Solaris, is not addressed by these instructions; please read the compat_svr4(8) manual page instead.
The number of reasons why a program might fail to work is (thankfully) longer than the number of programs that fail to run.

 SunOS vs Solaris
SunOS is a BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) based Unix operating system offered by Sun Microsystems for use on Sparc-based workstations for single CPU systems only.
Solaris is a System V based Unix Operating System offered by Sun for use on Sparc-based workstations as well as 486 and Pentium based computer systems.
The new operating system is also referred to as SunOS 5.x or 6.x.

In this example the bootserver is a Sun 3/80 running SunOS 4.1.1, so the exact syntax of the configuration files might be a bit different if you use another system.
The SunOS version in this example is 4.1.1, but any other version should be okay too, as long as it supports your hardware.
You are running a SunOS shellscript, so it might be that it won't work.

 SunOS and Solaris Binary Emulation on UltraLinux
SunOS uses the a.out (Assembler Output) binary format, which is the original executable format for UNIX, while Solaris and Linux use the ELF (Executable and Linking Format) binary format.
There is a major difference between the binary formats used in SunOS and Solaris programs.
SunOS) a.out binaries CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT32 This allows you to run 32-bit a.out format binaries on your Ultra.

 Solaris Operating Environment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term "SunOS" is still used to refer to the underlying operating system itself, and Solaris is considered to be the SunOS operating system plus a graphical user environment, ONC+, and networking and other enhancements.
Although Solaris proper is still proprietary software, many core components have made their way into an open source CDDL version, OpenSolaris.
For example, the latest Solaris release, Solaris 10, runs on SunOS 5.10.
