Hi Sanjay,

As was pointed out to me the default grub entry is the platform entry 
added at install time. So, only 1 entry is added.  That said, there is 
nothing that implies we have to leave it this way for Indiana. I 
personally like having the 32-bit mode available to me after install. 
Adding it manually isn't hard, it just may not be obvious to newer 
OpenSolaris users.

thanks,
sarah
