Solaris installation for dummies

I received SPARCStation 20 from a friend who pulled it out of office environment. I would like to perform a clean installation of Solaris 8 on it. Could anyone help me out with step-by-step instruction for a dummy? I have some experience with Solaris from an university and even with UltraSPARC assembly but Sun's website has tens of pages dealing with the installation itself and I don't want to read through all of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
