Did you check the patch readme for uninstall instructions?  If there is
no uninstall option, can't you just restore your $ORACLE_HOME from
backup (surely you have a backup)?  I believe you can check the version
of the software with "file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle" - if the output
mentions 64, then it's 64 bit, otherwise it's 32-bit.  Not sure if that
works on Solaris or not, but give it a try - there are also a few notes
on Metalink about how to check so if you just search for 64-bit there
you will probably find the answer.  Not sure about installing 9.2.0.5
32-bit on top of 9.2.0.5 64-bit, but doesn't sound like something I'd
want to try - better to just restore/uninstall first and then install
the right patch set, or at least check with Oracle Support first.  Why
are you installing 9.2.0.5 anyway - why not 9.2.0.8?
