I can't imagine why you would want such an old OS.
The Ultra 80 supports Solaris 2.5.1 HW 11/97 and Solaris 2.6 5/98 with the
footnote:

Operating Environment Installation CD February 2000 (704-7076-10) must be
used before installing these OS revisions.

This is because the CPUs are faster than 419 MHz, i.e. 450 MHz.

Where this CD can be found I am not sure since it is so old.
Even Solaris 7 will not require anything special.
The Ultra 80 will even run Solairs 10!
