Great...

RESOLVED.  I had osol-dev-134-x86 dl'ed on my notebook already.  Burned to cd.  
Came up in LiveCD image system with a lot of error messages, but still booted 
into the LiveCD OS and then Installed fine with "all" the hardware installed 
(including the onboard NICs, hardwire network cables plugged in and both NVidia 
cards SLI bridged). 

Th Install went great.  It installed the onboard Marvell Yukon II NICs (which 
was not supportd in OpenSolaris 9.06) and both NVidia Cards at SLI Bridged and 
max resolution.  There's no sound yet... but I really didn't expect that. (That 
will be my next project.)

Summary/Answers/Experience- OpenSolaris 9.06 was "interim'ly" broke when it 
came to multiple video cards (specifically in my case: SLI-bridged) because of 
upstream changes in Xorg revisions needing changes to the kernel. But the next 
release of OpenSolaris should support it again.

Thanks to all who responded.  Much Appreciated.  I can found my answers and it 
lead me to paths to follow when you "all" let me know/understand what was going 
on behind the "scenes and screens" and where to go to check what was going 
on/where it was going on.  I hope I can be of help to someone else with my 
experience(s) later on down the road.  Thanks to "all."
