Yeh, you can dual boot these without going to floppy.
I've done it this way:
I added another entry to lilo.conf ( manually, not in YaST ) so that it
says:
other=/dev/hda2 ( change this for your config.)
label=Solaris
Basically, Solaris has it's own loader. This is a crude way of switching
to the Solaris loader from lilo, from the lilo command line, and then
running it from there. This may not be the best way, but it was late, it
was easy, and I'm lazy.
After writing this I dug up the faq for Solx86 and it says:
add this to /etc/lilo.conf:
#solaris
other = /dev/whatever
/loader = /boot/chain.b
label = solaris
I haven't tried this, though this is probably The Right Way ...
You can try either and see if they work for you I suppose.
Take care,
