Upgrading Sol8 (core) to Sol8 (core) 64bit

Hi,
should it be possible to "upgrade" Sol8 10/01 to Sol 8 10/01 64bit ?
When I boot the installation CD the only options I get is the
following. There is no "Upgrade" option, only the "Standard" which I
think will overwrite the existing system.

Thanks,
George

- Solaris Interactive Installation ---------------------------------------------

  You'll be using the initial option for installing Solaris software on the
  system. The initial option overwrites the system disks when the new Solaris
  software is installed.

  On the following screens, you can accept the defaults or you can customize
  how Solaris software will be installed by:

        - Selecting the type of Solaris software to install
        - Selecting disks to hold software you've selected
        - Specifying how file systems are laid out on the disks

  After completing these tasks, a summary of your selections (called a
  profile) will be displayed.

  There are two ways to install your Solaris software:

   - "Standard" installs your system from a standard Solaris Distribution.
   - "Flash" installs your system from one or more Flash Archives.
