Random ideas:
- Would it help to use NFS instead of UFS ? When I do experiments with
the Solaris kernel on SPARC I am using something like a diskless setup
that the filesystem sits on a different machine (as a side-effect I can
use even large machines for experiments as the test only consists of a
"boot another OS from network" which leaves the normal OS installation
intact and I can keep the root filesystem under subversion control to
track down any changes there)
- What about linking the kernel statically (if Solaris still supports
something like that) ?
