I am an HP-UX guy filling in for the vacationing Sun admin so I appreciate 
the help!

QUESTION:
One of my applications groups has a 32 bit application they need to run
on a Solaris 8 system.  Is this compatible?  If so, do I need to make any 
special accomodations for the application to run on a Solaris 8 domain?

ANSWERS:

-  Solaris 8 is 32bit out of the box..

That being said, even if you are running in 64bit mode, its 32bit
compatible.. You don't need to do anything.

-  I have apps running in 32 bit mode on two of my systems.  Below is some 
more info.

Booting the 32-bit Kernel
Logged in as root, open a terminal window and type in the following:
# su -
# cd /
# halt -y
The machine will result in something similar to this:
syncing file systems... done
Program terminated
{2} ok
At this "ok" prompt type in the following:
{2} ok boot kadb -D kernel/unix
The machine will reboot at this point. Login as root after the reboot.
Open
up a terminal window and type in the following:
# su -
# cd /
# eeprom boot-file=kernel/unix
# reboot
