It shouldn't be a.out. The bootloader (on blocks 1-15) of a Solaris disk is an fcode file (compiled forth).
That would explain it, but are you sure that was already so in the SunOS 4.x times?
Ah. Sorry, missed the SunOS 4.x comment. That was before my time (I started at Sun in 1994, when we had just transitioned to Solaris 2), so I wouldn't know for sure.
If the first two bytes of the bootloader are "fd 03", it's FCode (That's the "fcode-version3"). Otherwise it may be a.out
