             An office mate had a lost weekend (without booze) a couple of weeks back trying to do something similar on the x86 release.  I warned him that the x86 psuedo-boot (sorry I should look up the correct term – the portion that loads the drivers prior to OS boot on the x86 release) would not like virtualization.   He left Friday PM to prove me wrong and came back Monday morning whipped.

Ah, well in that case, let me be the first to get the ball rolling.
    With everything I've been reading about OpenSolaris, I'm dying to jump in.  However, I don't have a machine to dedicate to it.  I do, however have an x86_64 Linux box (SlAMD64) with VMware 5.x.
    Has anyone experimented with running OpenSolaris under VMware?

Hey guys,
    I haven't seen any activity on this list yet, so I was wondering if I wasn't the only one.
How goes it in your neck of the woods?

I haven't validated this, but there is a blog on opensolaris.org that
describes how to get Solaris 10 working under VMWare workstation 5:

Hope this helps.
