Okay thanks, I missed prtdiag it looks like the right tool. Now my question is 
what would you like reported for 'cpu_type' (a short description like i686 or 
x86 for Intel)?

from psrinfo I get:
abeltje@jet [solaris2.9] (Wed Jan  7 14:02:18)
~$ psrinfo -v
Status of processor 0 as of: 01/07/2004 14:05:18
  Processor has been on-line since 12/23/2003 17:31:51.
  The sparcv9 processor operates at 502 MHz,
        and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.

That looks like 'sparcv9' is a candidate

~$ prtdiag
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems  sun4u Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC-IIe)
System clock frequency: 84 MHZ
Memory size: 896MB

==================================== CPUs ====================================
               E$          CPU                  CPU    Temperature
CPU  Freq      Size        Implementation       Mask   Die   Amb.  Location

  0   502 MHz  256KB       SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIe   1.4    78C   34C  
+-board/cpu0

That looks like 'UtltraSPARC-IIe' is a candidate
and the currently used 'sun4u?'

The full cpu info will be what is on the 'System Configuration:' line with the 
cpu frequency added:

	(jet) Sun Microsystems  sun4u Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC-IIe) (502MHz)

Good luck,

Abe
