How about the following options, without having to install Sys5 stuff:

1. Reading from /etc/motd. Normally, system administrators put the version info
in that file.

2. Via "/etc/dmesg" command. Generally, this also gives you info about version
number and a lot of other interesting stuff.

3. If 1 and 2 fail, you should be able to do a cat on "etc/install/release" to
get version number of SunOS. 

Hope this helps.
