[osol-discuss] Is info generally available to get [Open]Solaris running on SunPCi{2,3}?

2005-08-31 Thread Richard L. Hamilton
It's a step forward that Linux as well as Windows will run on newer SunPCi cards. But what about getting [Open]Solaris x86 to run on them? Too bad the card doesn't have a 64-bit Athlon, but even 32-bit x86 together with SPARC on the same box might be handy for those that wish to support
