The command isainfo -kv will let you know whether the OS is 64 bit or 32 bit, the default startup is defined in /platform/sun4u/boot.conf man page, on systems containing 200MHz or lower UltraSPARC-I processors, the 32-bit kernel is chosen as the default boot file, on higher end systems, the 64-bit kernel is selected. See man boot(1M) for details.
Hope it helps,
