Voodoo5 5500 with Solaris8

Comment:
Does anybody know how I can install Solaris8 on my computer with a Voodoo5 5500 card. I haven't been able to install it since The video driver isn't listed in the Installation section of Solaris8. I have tried numerous configs and none of them work. I want to be able to use Solaris8 so if anybody has any solutions please let me know via EMAIL. Thanks
