Two comments! Your OBP is not current. The current version is v3.1.
It has nothing to do with your Creator problem and is not something that
urgently needs to be fixed. You may, however, want to get that up to
date after you solve your other problems.

Solaris 8 has the necessary drivers! If you did less than the "full"
install they may not have been installed because you did not have the
hardware installed. Good luck finding out which package(s) install the
driver; the labor involved in that is why I do the full install in the
first place.

See docs.sun.com for OBP documentation.
