OK, I read the bug above and I understand how to install these drivers into an ABE on an existing system. How do you get OpenSolaris installed onto a W2100z in the first place then? The LiveCD does not appear to have appropriate drivers (Xorg.log says it can't find any screens) and the above instructions explain why you can't install the drivers on the currently running BE. I guess the answer is network install from an AI server and then use text console to load the Nvidia drivers as described in the bug...
